Well, apparently, there were ''two'' American-registered Gazelles with the registration N341AH: http://www.rotorspot.nl/n-5.htm lists a Sud-Aviation Gazelle Registration N341AH, Serial 1032 and lists it as canceled/fate unknown. I think that is the ''Gauntlet'' and ''Cat from Outer Space'' Gazelle, unless the Airport-Data.com's page claiming a manufacture date of 1984 is wrong. - [[User:Kooshmeister|Kooshmeister]] | ||

- More often than you'd think the registration is linked to the aircraft model. In this case: Aerospatiale designation SA 341 - N341AH; Westland model number AH1 - N341AH. Occasionally a coincidence but more likely chosen for that reason.
- These little bits can help distinguish a registration if unsure. Trial and error in the FAA Database also works.
