Bell 429s for Turkish National Police

Bell Helicopter has delivered the first seven of 15 Bell 429s to the Turkish National Police on or ahead of schedule. The aircraft will be used for a wide array of law enforcement missions, including surveillance, personnel transport and air support of ground operations. The first seven of 15 Bell 429s ordered by the Turkish National Police last year were accepted between September and October 2013, with remaining deliveries expected to occur on or ahead of schedule through 2014. The National Police began operating the aircraft as soon as they were delivered, flying surveillance and transport missions nearly every day and night. Each aircraft is equipped with multi-sensor cameras, the latest microwave downlink technology and a state-of-the-art video management system that allows the flow of information between air and ground operations.
