Photo Comment

ZS-RPL was one of the first AS-350B3's introduced to the South African Police in 2002, gradually replacing the MBB BO-105's. The Ecureuil / A-Star fleet grew to 15 aircraft since, with at least one having suffered an accident. The force also operates a few fixed wing aircraft, among them eight Pilatus PC-6 and one PC-12.
