The SA 319B benefitted from greater power for lower fuel consumption than earlier Alouette models making its performance particularly suitable for high mountainous regions and ensured commercial success. More than 2,000 Alouette IIIs were built up until 1979. The museum's example accumulated 13,478 flight hours and 16,087 people rescued in 35 years. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
