105's in Saudi

The last I saw of the very first contractors aircraft - a C28 powered Bo105 - was sitting at Riyadh Airport looking very sad and uncared for. I believe the original SRCA sucker was a Turkish company who suffered a fatal crash with their other Bo105 when it hit wires on a HEMS mission.

Action Aviation and the 902's came along some time after.

It's been a sad story so far. I hope it ends with success for they sure as hell need something that functions effectively in that part of the world.
