S 92 Blows opposition away....

An S 92 has been on static display at IDEX (International Defence) Exhibition in Abu Dhabi this week. On departure this afternoon it did a max rate climb into high hover, followed by a spot turn before departing. The resultant downwash damaged several chalets and displays. Most affected was the Agusta Westland chalet which had its windows blown in and started to collapse onto the occupants. Flying debris narrowly missed the Agusta 109 Power parked behind the chalet. Luckily no one was injured. One way of blowing the opposition away....
