This mock-up was built by apprentices from the Eurocopter Training Center for educational purposes. In 2007 it was transferred to the Saint-Victoret Aviation Museum. It is painted in the colors of Ecureuil no.3934 registered F-WQEX, piloted by Didier Delsalle who, on May 14 2005 and renewed on May 15 2005, broke the world record for landing in altitude, 8850 m, and take off from the top of Mount Everest.
