"When the signal is lost" - a heli excersise

Post by Levente »

According to the exercise, a HUAF AN-26 was lost near the main city Budapest, the SAR Mi-17 helicopter during the search found the wrecks near a mine lake. The police, the firefighters and everyone else were urgently called upon the location. The weather was very poor, lot of rain at times, but it gave some extra quality to the photos. An MD-500 heli from the Police came an hour later, who helped some cloud checking later (also it needs to mention that the International airport North approach was above the "wreckage"), and a medic EC-135 came much later, the reason for, that it went for a real emergency in the morning. Enjoy the photos:
