Title: Ireland gets first AW139
Post by: casper on August 22, 2006, 07:28:43 AM

The Irish Air Corps has begun training on the AgustaWestland AW139 utility helicopter, after accepting its first of four examples in Italy on 11 August. The service expects to receive its second example in late October, with the medium twins - the first AW139s to enter military service - to arrive at its Baldonnel site in mid-November before starting operational activities before year-end.
