Huh?? wtf?? If I am correct Babcock MCS GErmany are also a sizeable Cabri flying school (apart from Heli Transair) .was very surprised when Babcock took them over the then Heli Aviaton. I was not aware that they had HEMS ( AS365N3) and long line / utility ( AS355) to me it was just an operation similar to what Aeromega was.

muermel ,

Wonder if HEMS operation has too much competition with the likes of ADAC, DRF- Luftrettung? Plus the operational costs of the 365N3 could not be justified ?

Back to thread, wonder if the BV107/BV234/CH47D will be releiquish their iconic red and white colours thus be repainted in the Bristow blue white and red....

Cheers
