This privately-owned Airbus H145 (BK-117-D-2) was registered to an owner in Cardiff by the Sea in San Diego Country, California in 2019 and recently upgraded with a new 5-blade main rotor system which is now standard on all new production BK-117-D-3 models and available as a retrofit for the BK-117-D-2. The new rotor system provides about a 300 lb. increase in payload and also reduces in-flight vibration.

This new K-1200 K-Max for Mountain Blade Runner was displayed on the Kaman booth at HAI Heli-Expo 2022 held March 9-11, 2022 in the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in downtown Dallas, Texas. When the aircraft flew out of the convention center on March 11 it carried the FAA registration N12001 which is being used by Kaman for flight testing prior to customer delivery.

The first Law Enforcement H145 in the USA, Airbus Helicopters delivered N145DV to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department in August 2017.
