Portugal's Helibravo has purchased another AS350B2, the company's fifth of the type.

Helibravo's main business is fire-fighting and chief pilot Artur Cruz says the AS350 is the best helicopter available for this type of work.

"In fact," he adds, "I believe it is the best helicopter currently flying."

The fire season has been kind to Portugal this year, he reports, which is a relief after last year's blazes. As well as firefighting, Helibravo operates medevac, passenger charter and offshore missions.
