This is definitely the highest quality video of the new police helicopter currently available. 🚁 Excellent work!
The only capture of the new helicopter I could manage so far is a blurred dot in the distance!

Looks mint, going to miss the old ones though 😢

[@thekiwicanuck]

I was surprised with the change of colour.

@@thekiwicanuck same, better for hiding I guess

WPX (AS365) is already with its new owners inQLD

[@bluckfox]

@SonofthePhantom you like the as365 n3 +

[@SonofthePhantom]

@bluckfox It had a unique sound, but I'll miss the Kawasaki more. Growing up in Perth, it was a notable part of the soundscape. Also it was used by WAPOL for the last 30 odd years.

[@whemergency]

amazing catch. And did the pol have a open day or do you work there?

[@thekiwicanuck]

Thanks, nah I just went spotting and got a good angle through the fence! 😁
