Hi Frank,

Thanks for the remarks!

CN-URT is Pegasus

I guess this would make it a Solar Wings Pegasus. But I think you don't know whether this was a Pegasus Quasar IITC, Pegasus Quantum 15, Pegasus XL-Q, Pegasus XL-R, Pegasus XL-S and whatever other variants may exist?

Regards,

Hans

Hi all,

About the N4xxQS question mark: A British spotter read off N468QS on the sat morning between 10 and 11 am.
That has to be a G450 with c/n: 4146.

Thanks Gary!

Hi all

Please if anyone know more about this one (ex?)ALAT's SA-341F c/n 1105 at the exhibition. Some additional photo by any chance?
Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Stipe

What do you want to know about it?

sold to tunisian air force

[Hans]

Hi,

That was rumoured indeed, but I also heard it was a demo-aircraft for Aerotec (and it did carry an Aerotec badge).

But when you have sources which can confirm either story, I would be very interested to know about them.
Otherwise I guess we will just have to wait.

Regards,

Hans

Hallo,

sorry for my short post

here is something about this deal,it´s a french magazin,speaking about 5 ex-ALAT´s Gazelle sold to tunisia,and should be upgraded
by Aerotec etc..

En Tunisie

Par ailleurs, après plusieurs mois de négociations, la société Aerotec (dirigée par Paul Rossini avec, en appui, Jérôme Rivière, député UMP), en coopération avec la Délégation Générale pour l’Armement et Eurocopter, a signé avec la Tunisie la vente de cinq hélicoptères Gazelle (341). Ces appareils, sortis de l’Aviation légère de l'armée de terre (ALAT), seront modernisés. La prestation comprend également un important aspect de formation des pilotes. Conclu un peu comme un FMS américain, le contrat pourrait en appeler d’autres, sur des appareils similaires. A noter que l’armée de l’air tunisienne possède déjà cinq hélicoptères Gazelle. Avec cette acquisition, elle doublera la taille de sa flotte d’appareils de ce type.

Thanks on your kind help. I'm interested in Gazelles (strictly hobby interest) and I was just curious what an unmarked ALAT's one doing there. I didn't know Tunis obtain 5 more Gazelles. I assume their IDs not accessible yet
