[allantotti]

American Eurocopter = European helicopter technology assembled in America (still European but if it makes Americans happy, call it American Eurocopter then...)

It pisses me off that they work on their hops time in the AM 2/3/4 am at 500ft waking all of us up. have they heard of "COP CARS"/

ASS HOLES!!!!

Cosmetically the EC130 is second to none in the single engine field. This is probably not the ideal helicopter for a municipality the size of Long Beach, nevertheless most missions will be accomplished. Comparing Long Beach to NYPD is like comparing Apples to Wiffle Balls, not even in the same category.

India 99 is an Awesome Aircraft, but most twins will look "better" than single engine helicopters, because they have a "Beefy-er" profile

nO where near as cool looking as the British London PD eurocopter india 99

@FlyHighRC386 not only metropolitan police there all over

[Jimfoxyboy]

Rather surprised to see an Eurocopter with such a wide body and three abreast seating in the front. Unlike the 135 and 145 versions that I've seen while hunting for a scale 1/72 plastic model.

The RCMP over here in Vancouver BC use the EC-120. Probably an older model version.

NYPD heli's are sooo much better and more advanced

[DrPilotRedC]

@MikeEchoTangoSierra New York is also a MUCH bigger and wealthier city.

Paid for with stolen money. 

[LongBeachPits562]

@craigslist04 Not only that, they're NOT telling the true numbers/ stats on this heli. They're not allowed to, Some bullshit huh. Fuck the U.S. Government.

[HDaviator]

That is a sweet helicopter and a sweet way to buy it as well.
