One of the first two Airbus H225Ms was already delivered to the Ecuadorian Army and arrived today at its new home base, La Balbina, after spending more than two weeks on test and instruction flights in Guayaquil. Soon its sibling will join him here. Finally, after a long time, the Ecuadorian Aviation Army fleet receives a new aircraft!! Hopefully the other 3 H225Ms that were bought will arrive to Ecuador as well in the following months. Former F-WWOK, C-GMJI, PR-BGK, M-ABKH, YR-1ZD, YR-ZZD, not taken unit for the Ukraine National Guard and finally arrived to Ecuador with test reg F-WMXQ.

As of March 2025, Air Center Helicopters - founded in 1982 - operates among others some 20 EC225 / H225 helicopters for various US Government contracts. To name a few, the US Navy uses the helis to carry out Vertical Replenishment (VERTREP) of its vessels, while in 2022, the USAF selected ACH to train its Pararescuemen in offshore rescues. N576AC is a 2012 built airframe initially flying for Bristow as G-ZZSK and joined ACH in November 2018. It has seen at least two overseas deployments: one to the Bahamas in 2019 after Hurricane Dorian and the 2nd to Niger, West Africa around April of 2022.

Spanish Air Force Super Pumas can be found on various locations along Spain's long coastline, as they are used for SAR-missions over water. HD.21-4 passed at San Javier.

Prior to delivery to the Algerian government, this is the first produced EC 225, the civilian version of the EC 725 Caracal. It won't be used for long in Algeria, and will subsequently be exported to Germany as D-HPIT.
