Hiya,

For the ones interested in choppers, a black Bell 429 is sitting on a loading device in front of 'Vrachtgebouw 3' / KLM Cargo (0900lt). She's parked landside and can be seen from 'Handelskade'

No registration is visible however, I checked the plate and Man. Serial no. is given as 57315.

rgds,
Chris

Unlike the Bell429 a couple of weeks ago last weeks Bell had its c/n 57324 painted on the fuselage. Posible destination is Prague where Bell Helicopters have a final assembly line.

Ecureuil F-GSKA op vracht (landzijde) 13-10-2017

Post by Numbercruncher »

Hela!

Bij een rondje zojuist viel mijn blik op een Ecureuil-romp (staart kon ik zo snel niet ontdekken). Vanaf de zijkant was te lezen: F-GSKA en 'Like a B' (foto's op het net doen vermoeden dat er ergens een tailboom rondslingert waarop 'IRD' staat).

Doe er uw voordeel mee...

PS Algemene heli's-tussen-de-vracht-topic kon ik zo snel niet vinden...

Grtz,

Robert W

Deze Aerospatiale AS350B3 van Jet Systems Helicopter Services kwam vanuit Frankrijk en is op 16 October naar Toronto verscheept.
Op de romp stond inderdaad met grote letters: LIKE A BIRD.
Een complete AS350 pas precies op één 20 foot pallet.
De staart ligt altijd naast de romp op dezelfde pallet, evenals de mainrotor hub assembly.
