An Edinburgh resident was amazed to see a French military helicopter land at the airport, capturing the moment for all to enjoy
Edinburgh: Locals were pretty stunned when they saw a French military helicopter land at the airport on Tuesday evening. It was quite the sight!
The Super Puma helicopter touched down around 8 PM, and you could hear it coming from quite a distance. The clear skies made it easy to spot.
Lewis Macdonald managed to snap a great picture of the moment. It seems the helicopter flew in from France and decided to stay overnight.
According to Airbus, this H215 model is a heavyweight helicopter known for its reliability and efficiency. It can handle tough conditions, which is pretty impressive.
Edinburgh Live often shares news about aircraft sightings in the city. Just a few months ago, a Chinook was seen flying over Cramond Bridge in the morning.
The Chinook has been around for over 40 years and can carry a lot of troops or cargo. It’s a versatile helicopter that can operate in various environments, from deserts to jungles.
It’s also equipped for self-defense, making it a capable support helicopter for different missions. Pretty cool, right?
