Aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services provider, Vector Aerospace, has completed the first of three 12-year inspections for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department's (SBCSD) fleet of Airbus Helicopters AS350 B3 AStars.

The SBCSD flew its second AStar to Vector’s hangar in Langley, BC on June 20th, and returned home with the first completed aircraft, work on which included a full Arriel 2B1 engine overhaul and a comprehensive repaint.
