MH-557A Astro
A Light Helicopter meant for multi-mission purposes. Made in 2574 of April and made into production during 2577 after 3 years of malfunctions and failed prototype models. Resembles the MH-6M/AH-6M but with modifications to the model, for example the switch from a 2 pilot cockpit to a 1 pilot cockpit, from a 4 person cabin to a two person cabin.
