cattletruck,
Amin had a 212, which was flown by one of our Okanagan Australia pilots before he came to his senses. He didn't talk about the experience other than to admit that he did the job; Amin was a loathsome product of the time.
"Re-purposed" would apply to the second and third VicPol SA365C Dauphins, which were previously the personal helicopters of Nicolae Ceaușescu, the Romanian communist head of state.
