Incorrectly identified by ASN (http://aviation-safety.net) as a Cougar. From the picture here (http://www.saudigazette.com.sa/index.cfm?method=home.regcon&contentID=2011011091002) it appears to be a Dauphin.
RIP. :(

It was a military MEDEVAC Dauphin. A MOI S-92 crew went out on the SAR and found the helicopter 22 miles to the south of Riyadh.
RIP
