EUROCOPTER Aces !

i |
TopguN published in it's
magazine an article about Eurocopter. We show you our own material. |
Eurocopter is actual, looking at Tigre
and Caracal. Super modern helicopters. |
Older ones
like Gazelle are being replaced by the newest Colibri's in Dax France.

Enjoy our photographic
impression and read the article below at this page (UK version to come) |
|
Eurocopter
manufactures several types, for civil purposes and military as well |
During an
airshow at Dax France we were able to compare some types |
|
The EC-145
of the 'Securite Civile' is in service for already a longer time |
|
|
|
Securite
Civile ordered 32 helicopters for SAR |
|
It's an
ideal helicopter for hoisting and transporting victims of any kind. This simulates a job in a hurry |
|
These pilots
are very well trained to do the rescue job under all circumstances |
|
The glass
cockpit looks like a large Disney character..... :-) |
|
... but no,
it isn't, it's a life saver ! |
|
The Tigre is
a real attack helicopter, and more or less a concurrent of the Apache |
|
The Tigre
however is of a later generation as the Apache and more sophisticated |
|
Various
coutries united their knowledge and demands for this 'Super-Tigre'.
|
|
The French version: Tigre HAP/HCP,
or 'Support and Escort or Multipurpose Combat Helicopter' |
|
Lucky shot... |
|
Some call the Tigre 'The New
Generation Apache', don't mess with this machine ! |
|
Preparing for flight at the DAX
platform France. |
|
Finally we
show the latest Cougar version, the 'Caracalle'. |
|
|
|
This
concerns a multi mission helicopter, it is used also for CSAR |
|
CSAR is a
dangerous job, picking up soldiers behind enemy lines... |
|
In hostal
environment this helicopter is best left alone by the enemy... |
|
.....otherwise
you might regret ! |
|
So far our
impressions, we hope you liked it ! Thanks for being with us here ! |
|
Ok, as the
pilot shows, time to move on. This 'Dax-hound' is very contempt with his
situation... |

|
We show you
our last two images, a firm EC-145 hoist, and a nice badge ! |
Ofcourse
there are more types. Perhaps we can show them in an article later on.
