Your welcome Sir.

that's interesting to see the Super Frelon in Olympic colours, had allways thought this helicopter had been exclusively operated by the military.

How do you think i felt, i always thought she was exclusive to the likes of the Armée de l'Air and Marine Nationale, still though she is one ugly looking bird.

I travelled on this baby once

it was decked out in Air malta colours, but the crew (Even the very nice but somewhat out of place stewardess) where all bulgarian military.

It was pretty basic for a commercial flight and the only way I could describe it, is being given a lift in a washing machine on full spin:D

good experience though.

Dogster

I would say the Frelon would be must famous for an Israeli Commando raid in to Egypt in which they made off with a Soviet radar.
