What an extremely rare catch!! A civilian Robinson R66 at La Balbina Army Brigade. I couldn't believe that that this special visitor ended up landing at 8534 ft and on a military heliport. Being prepared for a flight to Ambato (SEAM) after flying from some helipad in Santo Domingo that same morning. This same chopper suffered a crash on August 29, 2020 at Manta during an engine test but it was repaired. Special thanks to everyone involved on this special "express" spotting.
