COUGAR AS532-AL 
Another few images of the Cougar and his tasks, here at Krumovo Bulgaria 'Coop Key' exercise 
R
As promished once more the Cougar, friendly in hangar and landing assault troops in the field
 
A view on the digitalised cockpit, dashboard, and inside seats for troopers
 
Very capable of carrying cargo, (border) patrol, search and rescue, providing food where needed   
 
Providing mountains hut, climbers camps, and transporting construction material to high places 
The Cougar is a real 'Can Do It All' machine !

SEARCH AND RESCUE !
Let's be frank: To fly like this (above), you're not only pilot but also artist !!
   
This statement also goes for the rescuers and medics who fly more often outside than inside... 
   
Saving people sometimes needs belief, a hurry, accuracy but always enormous skills ! 
   
The hoist operator has a tremendous responsability, others rely on him blindly with their lives
 
That goes for (co)pilots as well, if it concerns saving lives or put away a wreck
 
Sometimes they operate along steep mountainsides and rocks where a spacer is needed
In this kind of situations victims can get into panic or being in shock which makes it extra difficult...
 
... to get the victim inside the helicopter. But also a mountainpeak requires 100 % craftmanship
 
These men don't doubt or think on own safety, it has become a second nature not to make mistakes
 
To do all possible to get victims stabilised and rescue them even out of narrow gaps
And that is why these men and women deserve a medal even if it's a virtual one right now !
WELL DONE, ALL OF YOUR TEAM AND COLLEGUES EVERYWHERE !
