American Eurocopter Apparatus

[x635 4,066]

This very sharp looking Rescue belongs to American Eurocopter, and is stationed at Grand Prarie Airport TX (Dallas-Fort Worth area). Grand Prarie is the home of American Eurocopter. Many activities go on at this facility. Manufacturing, assembling, and refurbishment and repair of helicopters is just the begining. They have the delivery and training center, where the clients pick up and are trained on the aircraft. It also has some VERY cool civilian and military training facilities. In addition, aircraft engineers are constantly testing the aircraft in real life simulated situations, and this is where these rigs comes in. And they are ONLY for American Europter, Grand Prarie Airport also has other ARFF resources.

Figured I'd share the link until I can get up that way to photograph it.
