If 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of the Alouette III, it will also mean the withdrawal from use of French Sécurité Civile's last Alouette IIIS.

An open house day will take place at Grenoble Le Versoud Airfield, on May 2nd, 2009, to commemorate that event.

Thanks Olivier BALMAIN (Helico Montagne)
