Zitat:Tiger Armed Reconnaissance Helicopters (ARH) Arrive at Brisbane Airport
Today, the first two Tiger Armed Reconnaissance Helicopters arrived at Brisbane Airport in a specially chartered freighter.
ARH 1 and ARH 2 departed the Eurocopter factory in Marignane, France on Saturday 20th November and arrived at Brisbane Airport today after transiting through Male and Darwin. Apart from the two Tigers, the freighter also carried TLS spare parts and tooling. The Australian Aerospace Production Manager, Graham Matthews, together with his Eurocopter counterpart, Thierry Mitault were on board throughout the long journey to ensure the safe delivery of the aircraft to Australia.
After arriving at Brisbane Airport, ARH 1 & 2 were transferred to the Australian Aerospace facility where they will undergo preparation for the official delivery to the Australian Army in mid December.
“The arrival of these two helicopters is a great milestone in the Tiger Project and confirms the dedication and hard work our Team and the DMO Team have put into this project to ensure the on-time delivery” said Joseph Saporito, Chief Executive Officer, Australian Aerospace.
