| First let's have a look at this rarely seen bird in our neighbourhood... | ||
 |
 |
|
| The Islander ! Here on patrol over the Maltese territory... | ||
 |
 |
|
| ... and back to base on the platform and in it's hangar again. | ||
 |
 |
|
| Another type of aircraft in use is the Bulldog trainer | ||
 |
 |
|
| Also used for patrols along the coast ... | ||
 |
 |
|
| ... here seen from out of the cockpit of an Alouettte III | ||
 |
 |
|
| Which brings us to this classic but proven type, used for search and rescue mainly. | ||
 |
 |
|
| Departing here from Luqa airbase, and working together with a coastguard ship | ||
 |
 |
|
| It's a shining beauty, in these colors for sure ! | ||
 |
||
| This helicopter is still in use in various countries, f.i. in the Swiss mountains. | ||
 |
||
| For the 'Heavy Stuff' two Italian Huey's are detached on Malta | ||
 |
 |
|
| They do the long(er) range SAR tasks, Medevac and transports | ||
 |
||
| Here one example in front of the Malta tower on military side | ||
 |
 |
|
| The AB-212's are flown by a combined Maltese / Italian crew... | ||
 |
 |
|
| ... the characteristic rotorsound is unique to this machine. | ||
 |
||
| Three pilots, Bell-G-47 ('last of the few') , Islander, and Loreto Spiteri (our host) in the Bulldog | ||
 |
 |
|
| Malta Airbase can handle it's own maintainance on different types. | ||
