Photo Comment

Delivered as an AS350C, Maple Leaf was not happy with the reliability of the original Lycoming engine and converted this Astar to AS350B standard with a Turbomeca Arriel engine. The helicopter left Canada February 1989 to eventually become N101FW. It returned to Canada June 2007 as C-FODI with Expedition Helicopters, who further upgraded it to AS350BA standard.
