The zombie apocalypse has started, they're ferrying VIPs to secure locations, stock up on weapons and food while you can....

DHFS do operate yellow topped Griffins (Twin engined Huey, basically), so that's what you saw.

As far as I know, none are called Horald, but one should be from here on in! ๐Ÿ™‚
