I'm an aviation nerd, so as I was driving along San Fernando Road this morning I found it unusual that a black and white Eurocopter was circling low over Atwater Village. I got this quick snapshot while stopped at a light. I've never seen a black and white LAPD chopper before, so I assumed that it was a fake police helicopter being used for a film shoot.I did some searching and discovered that this is LAPD's newest Eurocopter AS350. Paint scheme: black and white. Apparently blue and silver is on its way out and all of LAPD's new helicopters will be wearing black and white.
