Just to recap...
Active Operational Heli. Startups at least every other day..apart from downtime naturally. Not in mothballed reserve.
November 1963.
Geographically Ireland,north and south is part of the islands known as the British Isles. Cant do anything about that unless we start to call Great Britain and Ireland the "Irish Isles"..Hmm..
Note to Spot 4 French Gendarme are replacing their A3s currently with Ec145s.
Historic Flights dont count. Neither do Hours flown..Heli wear and tear is based on Startups,not Flying Hours.
