Description
In this special episode of the Australian Aviation Podcast, host Adam Thorn talks to Bell Flight's Terry Miyauchi, who previously headed up Arizona Police's Aviation Unit.
The former pilot discusses how law enforcement agencies use helicopters in 2021 and how the technology onboard has evolved over the years.
Plus, he explains why both emergency services and defence still favour the Bell 429, which first flew more than a decade ago.
Finally, with drone uptake increasing and electric aircraft on the horizon, what is the future of parapublic aviation?
