Photo Comment

Between 1986 and 1989, the austrian Police Air Wing took delivery of six AS-350B1 helicopters, a rare AS-350 version only built in small numbers (the more power- and successful AS-350B2 came out in 1990). OE-BXH was the 1st of the six B1's mentioned and remains in service at the time of upload, together with sisterships OE-BXI and OE-BXM. Also operated by the law enforcement agency are - as of December 2024 - three AS-350B3+ and eleven EC135's. OE-BXH is seen here about to land at Wucher Helicopter's HQ in Ludesch for a maintenance visit, after a 2 hour flight from Vienna-Vöslau.
