The Eurocopter AS-565 (ICAO: AS65 / WAKE: LIGHT) is a medium-weight multi-purpose twin-engine military helicopter. Created in Second Life by Spijkers & Wingtips, the aircraft was based on the real-life Eurocopter AS-565 Panther currently manufactured by Airbus Helicopters (formerly Eurocopter Group).
