Heard last week Chopper 8 was going to have another helicopter on Monday.
It might be N1231A helicopter. It was flying doing the evening news hours.
No newer photos online yet showing Chopper 8 colors.

Went from Bell 206B helicopter to Eurocopter AS350B2 helicopter.
Not sure what happened to the old (N688TV) helicopter they used.
Nice photos of the N688TV helicopter.

KFMB New Information (Interesting information to read about KFMB from February and March)
They used one Eurocopter in February/March when the Bell 206B was in for service.

I emailed and got this reply from Phil.
We are temporarily using an AStar while the contractor prepares a newer, replacement Bell 206.
I might get some photos up in the future.
