Having saved countless lives in its 42 years of service, the Agusta Bell AB-212 police chopper officially retired after clocking 9,993 flight hours to become part of the collection of the Slovenian Police Museum.

The helicopter, known as Bravo in police jargon, was given a retirement ceremony at the headquarters of the police air unit at Brnik that befits its significance in Slovenia’s history. It will eventually be permanently exhibited at the Pivka Park of Military History.
