Airbus Helicopters of Columbus delivered one of its AS350 B3e AStar helicopters Tuesday to the Mississippi Department of Public Safety. The law enforcement-equipped, multi-mission helo is designed for patrol, drug eradication and hurricane support capabilities. Airbus has produced 220 AS350s that are operated by U.S. law enforcement agencies. Capt. Ron Kelly, commander of the Highway Patrol Air Wing, says the helicopter was chosen due to its functionality, value, performance and payload capability. (Source: Sun Herald 06/17/14)
