This Aerospatiale AS355F TwinStar, N221EH, was seen at the Energy Heliport in January 1985. The heliport was located in a field beside one of the main roads linking downtown Houma with Houma Terrebonne Airport ( 401 Glynn Ave, Houma, LA 70361). There were a lot of independent helicopter operators serving offshore oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico before the oil price collapse of 1985-1986 reduced offshore drilling and helicopter work. Energy operated AS350 AStars, AS355 Twin Stars and a 500D in early 1985. This 355F was registered N5793F, N221EH, N220, C-FBCH, N355RS & RA-07296 This photo is copyright © Kenneth I.
