Police chopper noise levels

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. The DC Metropolitan Police Department has two American Eurocopter AS350 B3s. They paid for the 2nd one with Homeland Security funds. I don't know how they funded the first one. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN mschnerdatcarolina.rr.com |
