AW139 'Rising Star' - AFM, May 2010
« on: April 13, 2010, 09:30:17 pm »
The current (May 2010) edition of 'Air Forces Monthly' carries a four page article about the AugustaWestland AW139. Entitled 'AugusaWestland's Rising Star' the article is four pages long, shows several colour pics ...incl a pic of an IAC AW139 ...and includes a listing of all current AW139 military/govt operators worldwide.

There is also a two-page article next in the magazine about Pakistan's recent aquisition of AW139's for their 'Emergency Relief Cell' ...a unit tasked with emergency relief efforts in the area. (The article praises the 139 as being able to lift twice the load of the older Huey's).

Silver. 

Incidentially...there is a nice review of Joe Maxwell's book 'The Irish Air Corps' on page 87 of the same edition.
