Photo Comment

Normally used by the EPNER, the French Test Pilots School, this Puma was originally in service in the ALAT, then with the Chad Air Force. It still sports the old "Centre d'Essais en Vol" titles, despite the latter CEV having been re-branded as "DGA-EV" in 2009. Noteworthy is the squared sand filter fitted on the engines air intakes ,a device not used anymore since many years on the French Pumas.
