Eurocopter at ABZ?

Post by Lossie15 » Tue May 18, 2010 11:33 am

Spotted (what looks like a eurocopter) on approach to Aberdeen around 1100L. It came across the city. Any info?

A eurocopter?

Bond, CHC and Bristow all operate Eurocopter EC225s could have been any of those, assuming that's what you meant? :???:

Or maybe an EC135? (Of which there are also rather a lot up there!)

Lossie - Was it yellow? If so it could be an air ambulance EC135 which can often be seen flying into/out of Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.

Apart from that there is a whole host of Eurocopter products operating out of Aberdeen.

Maybe a twin squirrel? Sometimes get them through the CTA on Powerline inspections.

Or perhaps a Helimed EC135 into the ARI?

I'm assuming it wasn't a Bell Jet Ranger? Get loads of them on pipeline inspections.
