From the Republic of Slovenia we have a photo of the Agusta A109E of the Slovenian Police Helicopter Unit departing Ljubljana Airport (LJLJ) on a HEMS mission, piloted by Igor Zrinski. The Helicopter Unit dates back to 1967, when it first formed with an Agusta Bell AB47/J2A which was generally used for patrol and traffic control: notwithstanding the performance limitations it also carried out a mountain rescue mission in 1968! The current fleet is fairly mixed: an AB212, an AB412, an Agusta A109E, an EC135 and two AB206BIIIs.
Rotorhead Phoinix supplied the photo: my thanks to him and all the others who have provided me with pictures over the past month. I must say it is nice to get images from such diverse countries :ok:
