Hard for me to believe that D.C. police could afford two choppers.
Is there a Web site where the different makes are shown in profile so
I could learn to identify them?


Some cities did not have to purchase helicopters.
The federal government has a program to give surplus equipment to state
and local governments if they apply for it.
Former US Army OH-58 helicopters (military model of the Bell 206) are
one of the items which come available as they are retired from military
service and are placed on the surplus list.
