Did I hear the rumor right? A PHI 412 ran out of gas on their way to a base just north of Riyadh while the news crews were waiting to film their arrival? 
That's freakin' hilarious. Don't think ADA has any worry about losing the contract any time soon. Oh and welcome to the logic free zone PHI and your crews. Good luck and keep your sense of humor.
You're going to need it.

Bollocks, it can't be true because they burn Jet-A, not gas.
Dude, "gas" is slang for fuel. So relax.

They obviously haven't read and signed the SRCA Standard Operations Procedures ref fuel minimas!
Wonder if it's in the Arab News yet? Must go and have a look.

Excellent .... happy to see 'they' have arrived at Thumamah ....
Be interesting to see how many Saudi vehicle drivers will be able to drive beneath the rotor disk at a 'scene' before an accident happens !!!
Ooohh and those 'little wheels in the sand ....
Anyway ..... Good luck chaps ....

Saw a 412 in Hail last night, US tailnumber ending in MA (IIRC).... Is this an ADA machine or PHI?
I was surprised to see it there, i thought that they would be operating around the Hajj locations.

When I was there all the ADA machines were in Saudi registration.
The problem with Hajj locations, well, there is a Non-Muslim crew TFR around Mecca, so if anyone on board isn't a Muslim (and yes, they make you pick a religion when you get your visa's and such) you can't fly there.
