An Egyptian government Gazelle featured earlier in this thread on page 33.

Now an image has emerged of an Egyptian Gazelle participating in the 'rukus' from earlier in the year:


An Egyptian government Gazelle SA342L flies low over protestors in Cairo in February 2011

Aside from the obvious lack of options in the event that something untoward should happen to the aircraft (either mechanically induced or from the craft's proximity to the crowd) one wonders as to the effectiveness of such a manoeuvre in terms of crowd control?

The photographer claims the purpose of the government sponsored Gazelle was to 'intimidate' the crowd!

Interesting to see the KFC outlet among all the Arabic shop titles.
