This Alouette 3 was built by F+W at Emmen under licence from Sud Aviation. The helicopter was delivered to the Flugwaffe on 3 August 1973. Unfortunately, the helicopter crashed on 23 October 1985, only months after this picture was taken. The pilot flew into fog and lost orientation. It collided with some trees and crashed to the ground near the village of Rothenthurm (Switzerland). Sadly, three passengers were killed, the pilot was injured.
