Australia 07/03/2005 Pictures: testflight army helicopter

Post by blackhawk »

Goodevening, today I received some pictures from someone living near the ADI factory in Australia. The army were performing some testflights with some of their (new) helicopters. Maybe nothing special but always nice to something from the other side of the world.

Nice helicopter. Looks a lot like the blackhawk though. Does anyone have any idea wich type of helicopter this is? I'm not familiar with helicopters but I'm willing to learn everyday :lol:

Some exclusive pictures of a very interesting spotter. Thank you for sharing with us, BlackHawk.
