[FedCom] AS-350 Customs Activity March 26th

Thu, 27 Mar 2003 05:11:14 -0800 (PST)

The AS-350 is an Aerospatiale "A-Star" (or what the French call a "squirrel").

In the offshore industry they call is a "Falling Star."  The twin engined
version is the Twin Star.  The interior reminds me of a French car instead of
the manly look of a Bell helo.

Customs has at least one in New Orleans.
