MPD operates two leased helos, one of which has probably been returned at
this point.  The callsign heard over MPD frequencies is Falcon 1.  The
callsign heard over airband is Condor 1.  Both are Eurocopter A-stars.
Falcon 1 is a new B model, N911DC.  They are home based out of the South
Capitol Street Heliport.  They are currently the only customer at that
location due to the TFRs.  SkyFox used to work out of the same heliport.
