Another SUH-522 during an overhaul with the Aircraft Engineering Wing. Strikingly, seven black Bell 412s were seen during the 4Aviationb visit to Ratmalana, all seven carried the same serial, "SUH-522". There are six operational ones at the time of our visit, and serials involved are reportedly SUH-523 (c/n 33097), SUH-525 (33095), SUH-527 (36225), SUH-528 (36249), SUH-529 (36557) and SUH-530 (36558). The seventh one is this SUH-522, and is SUH-524 in real. They are all assigned to the 4 (VIP/VVIP) Helicopter Squadron "Anywhere, Anytime, Safely.
