Eurocopter
manufactures several types, for civil purposes and military as well |

During an
airshow at Dax France we were able to compare some types |
![](/2011/1-%20PenV/Eurocopter/EC-145%20(1).JPG) |
The EC-145
of the 'Securite Civile' is in service for already a longer time |

|
|
Securite
Civile ordered 32 helicopters for SAR |

It's an
ideal helicopter for hoisting and transporting victims of any kind. This simulates a job in a hurry |

The Tigre is
a real attack helicopter, and more or less a concurrent of the Apache |
![](/2011/1-%20PenV/Eurocopter/EC-665%20(2).JPG) |
The Tigre
however is of a later generation as the Apache and more sophisticated |

Various
coutries united their knowledge and demands for this 'Super-Tigre'.
|

The French version: Tigre HAP/HCP,
or 'Support and Escort or Multipurpose Combat Helicopter' |

Finally we
show the latest Cougar version, the 'Caracalle'. |

This
concerns a multi mission helicopter, it is used also for CSAR |
![](/2011/1-%20PenV/Eurocopter/EC-725%20(4).JPG) |
CSAR is a
dangerous job, picking up soldiers behind enemy lines, in hostal
environment. |

Ok, as the
pilot shows, time to move on. This 'Dax-hound' is very contempt with his
situation... |
