1st Attack Helicopter Battalion flies with AH-64A Apache helicopters from Stefanovikio Air Base. The emblem depictures mythological horse Pegasus. Hesiod relates one story of how Pegasus was peacefully drinking from a well when the hero Bellerophon captured him. Everywhere the winged horse struck his hoof to the earth, an inspiring spring burst forth. One of these springs was upon the Muses' Mount Helicon, the Hippocrene ("horse spring"), at the behest of Poseidon to prevent the mountain swelling too much and another at Troezen. Hesiod also says Pegasus carried thunderbolts for Zeus.
1st Attack Helicopter Battalion was established in 15th October 1994.
