Greece pulled every Bell helicopter after the Psatha collision. [1] Thursday's file does not put them back. The 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 Wednesday 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. Tracked earth movers and ember crews fill an air hole. [2] They do not recertify a Bell.

Thursday is still a parked type. A water drop on a contained line is not a recertification order. The inquiry still has no public cause for two 214s in the same air. Until that sentence exists, the Bell line stays on the apron.
