Ditch EP Aviation SA.330J Puma N605R

Post by wamovements »

SA.330J (c/n 1358) N605R coded "P05" did ditch somewhere in Afghanistan close to 15-12-2008 (at least this date sthe photo's were made). There is at least damage to the tailrotor.
The Puma was seen inside UR-82008 AN124 as ADB2834 on Prestwick at 12 November 2008 on his way to ???.

EP Aviation LLC is an affiliate of Blackwater Worldwide. After the small aviationcompany EP Aviation LLC, located in McClaen, VA, became an affiliate of private security contractor Blackwater Worldwide, the company purchased 29 aircraft. Among the new with EP Aviation registered aircraft are eight SA330J Puma and fourteen Bell 412 helicopters. On 11 October, three of the recent acquired Puma’s visited Rotterdam Airport on their way from Kassel to East Midlands. The ex Bundespolizei Puma’s were bought from HELOG. Final destination of these SA.330Js was Bagdad.
According to the information about the ditch of Puma N605R, EP Aviation is also active in Afghanistan.
