Swiss Foundation Helimission aquired its first AS-350B in 1983 as I-LILL from famous italian actor Bud Spencer. It was operated in eastern Zaire (now DRC - Democratic Republic of Congo) for about 8 years and then transferred to Madagascar in 1994. Registered as 5R-MVN in 2002, converted to AS-350BA in 2005, returned to Switzerland in early 2013 for a major 12 year inspection, after which it is seen here at the Helimission HQ. Now back in Madagascar as 5R-AAA. This photo is copyright © Adrian Romang, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
