Title: Low Flying Squirrel
Post by: Angry Turnip on December 04, 2008, 11:06:58 AM

A PDG AS-350 Squirrel Helicopter is operating at very low level at the moment arount Crumlin/Ballinderry checking powerlines.

I have a pic of the aircraft concerned which I will post later-no camera at work today  :(

Cool video, and that helcopter looks familar yet I can't remember if I've seen it before or seen a picture of it! Is it to be based in Enniskillen now for a while?

Just watched it again and it looks like they also use Alouette IIs.
