Pope Flies In PoAF AW101 Merlin

[SuperDouper]

The Pope has today completed the second of his two VIP flights in a Portuguese Air Force Merlin.

More orders in the VIP market for the AW101?

As Churchill the dog would say "Oh Yes". Should be announced soon, small orders but they all count.:)

A 'papal bump' just because the pontiff flies in a particular helicopter??? Don't think so. He travels in whatever the hosting nation uses - see Google (http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=pope%20helicopter&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi) for a selection of images.

I wasnt suggesting he would be buying one, more that other VIP orders could follow. What with Obama about to sign on the line again. You never know!

The pontif has a pilots licence, although I guess at 83 years of age he has surrendered it but his old HH-3F's that he used to fly from the Italian Air Force are a bit dated.
