Aérospatiale Gazelle
For years, the Gazelle formed an integral part of NATO's helicopter forces, performing several roles, particularly reconaissance and anti-armour operations during the Cold War.
With more advanced helicopters entering service in the military, several of these legendary machines have found their way into the civilian market, like the one still wearing the colours of the French Army, which you will be able to admire in the static park of the International Sanicole Airshow.
