The Llama is a quadruped - M. Python
There are still close to 45 Llama's flying in Switzerland, about 60 odd in Italy, and France it's a bit hard to tell although there could still be as many as 50 operating.

Rumours of Turbomeca "possibly" discontinuing support for the Artouste 3B/B1 soon.

They still have a "niche" that a B3 can't quite fill. The various military units, Gendarmerie and Border Patrols still or very recently operated the Alouette III, so there is a lot of support available for them although at a price.

Roberts Aircraft in the US can still build you a virtually "new" Llama.
