The Aérospatiale Gazelle is a French five-seat helicopter, commonly used for light transport, scouting and light attack duties. The SA-342M variant offered to us by Polychop Simulations is an anti-armor version of this nimble helicopter. First designed in 1967 by Sud Aviation (which later became Aérospatiale, then Eurocopter, and now Airbus Helicopters as of 2014), the Gazelle was manufactured in France and in the United Kingdom through a joint production agreement with Westland Aircraft
