    Been reported on another Forum that AAC Gazelle XW-846 Callsign "AAC562" was in EIME yesterday, are they still based up North or was she on a Navex from the UK??

    It doesn't look like it has floats, which would rule out flights over water(single engine etc) so probably from norn iron.

    Ah. Have never seen a gazelle with floats come to think of it. They were quite sizeable on an A3, kinda hard not to notice.

    They must be well due for retirement. They got them long before we got our 2, and they used theirs in combat...

    I think he meant they got them before we got our 2 gazelles, not the A3's.
