Samson 16

Samson 16, also known as Rogue One or Maya, and as Trudy called it her "baby"was an Aerospatiale SA-2 Samson general utility rotorcraft fielded by RDA on Pandora, piloted by SecOps captain Trudy Chacón. It was used mostly for science missions and was the dedicated transport for Dr. Grace Augustine, who leads the personnel of the Avatar Program on field trips studying the Pandoran ecosystem and the indigenous Na'vi population, particularly the Omatikaya clan.
Trudy, disillusioned by SecOps' inhumane destruction of the Hometree, helped Grace and the two avatar drivers, Jake Sully and Norm Spellman escape from Hell's Gate using Samson 16. Trudy later participated in the Na'vi offensive against SecOps' Assault on the Tree of Souls in the same aircraft. It was destroyed in aerial combat by Colonel Quaritch's Dragon Assault Ship.
==Equipment==
It was equipped with standard Samson weaponry: a pair of door-mounted MBS-9M Hydras, M60 Machine Guns and missile pods. It had a tiger painted on the front-right side under the cockpit window (similar in location to the dragon painted on Quaritch's Dragon Gunship), and was given Na'vi war paint during the assault - perhaps to identify it as different to the RDA fleet's ordinary grey painted aircrafts.
==Trivia==
*Trudy's Samson appears in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora on a helipad at the perimiter of Horizontal Miner Charlie base in the Kinglor Forest.
