Greece pulled every Bell helicopter after the Psatha collision. [1] Wednesday's file does not put them back. Tuesday's Associated Press described planes and helicopters dumping water inside contained perimeters west of Athens. [2] It did not name a Bell return. It did not close the inquiry.

The paper's Tuesday brief already treated the grounding as prudence, not containment. ERT said the remaining air after the pull was eight Ericksons, two Canadairs, and two Chinooks. [1] That mix is still the fleet unless a later bulletin says otherwise.

Two crew died in the midair. Three firefighters had already died last week. [3] Grounding the type that collided is the first mechanical act. Flying the rest into a week-old fire is the operational act. They are not the same sentence.

Until the investigation names why two 214s shared the same air, the Bell line stays parked. Water on a hot perimeter is not a type recertification.

The army sent tracked earth movers to cut breaks. Specialist units walked into forest to kill embers. [2] Those are ground tools filling an air hole. They do not recertify a Bell. Wednesday is still a parked type.
