The Lee County Sheriff’s Office in Ft. Myers, Fla., found something special beneath its Christmas tree. On December 18 last year, Airbus Helicopters delivered a new H125 AStar to the agency, increasing its AStar fleet to three rotorcraft. The sheriff’s office is installing a hoist on the new AStar, the better to fulfill its role in law enforcement and searches for lost or missing persons, as well as coastal search and rescue. Hangar One, Carlsbad, Calif., is conducting the full law enforcement completion.
