Description: this factory fresh helicopter arrived at Grimbergen airfield as "G-BSXO" on July 12 1991 and was three days later registered to Publi-Air, initially based at Grimbergen airfield but from January 1992 onwards at Namur airport, here seen such at its new home base in their livery carrying "Publi-Air" titles. Four years later, on July 1, it was damaged in an accident near Mallersdorf (Germany) when it ran out of fuel whereby the heli seems to be stolen by a pilot who ran away afterwards. The heli was confiscated by the German police and later in the month cancelled from the register, namely on July 26 1995. Ultimate, on February 9 1998, it migrated to the States as "N6359Z" for Ed Mauldin dba.
