Luchtcompnenet Alouette II's retired

Post by wamovements »

Not read before overhere, but last week, 09-09-09, the final three Alouette II's were retired. A61, A64 and A69 made a formation flight together and it seems like the 23 Alouette's that were for sale recently, are sold to Mad Africa Distribution and might end up in Madagaskar.

Me. 8)

There was a total of six SA.318C Alouette II. The last three operational ships presented on the apron (A-61, A-64 & A-69) and three others on the static display: one at the gate of the parade zone (sorry no serial, no picture), one with the floating bags (A-68), and one in Medevac (A-78).
