This 2017 built H125 was delivered new to french operator Air Works Helicopters, which leased it to EcoCopter as CC-AUQ in 2021/2022 to support the volcano monitoring efforts in Chile. Next stop seemed to be North-Western Spain, as the helicopter can be seen here resting at the Iomba Heliport west of Santiago de Compostela, again carrying its original french registration F-HJMF. Hired by the local "Xunta de Galicia" government for a fire fighting contract, hence the small sticker on the cargo door.

The first two were delivered in December of 2015, among them N314SS which together with sistership N189EH commenced operation in April 2016. Number 3 and 4 briefly operated in Brazil for ERA subsidiary Aeroleo Taxi Aero in 2017 before returning to the US as N326LS and N503JW respectively. Close to 160 AW189's have been produced at the time of upload.

This 1964 built S-61 first flew with New York Airways as N92866, then as PH-NZA with KLM Helikopters which also leased it to the United Nations in the 1990's for a humanitarian operation in Bosnia. Next stop was with ERA Helicopters before it finally joined Coulson in June of 2019. Since forest or wild fires are often ignited by sparks originating from power lines, the heli can be seen here standing-by on a fire fighting contract, hired by the electrical company Edison, of which a small sticker can be seen under the cockpit window.

In late May 2023, Bristow Helicopters won the tender to provide for Ireland's SAR needs for the next ten years. Here, the 1st new AW189 destined for that contract can be seen during a refueling stop in Switzerland, while being ferry flown from Milano to Aberdeen. There, it will be equipped with the necessary SAR mission equipment (as G-CMTP), before relocating to Ireland for training the flight crews, ground and offshore partners. The heli will be put into service on November 1, 2024 (by then with a EI-registration), starting to replace the current SAR S-92's operated by CHC Helicopters.

This former US Army UH-60A (FY # 80-23439) has been cancelled from the FAA register on December 2, 2023, but was most likely already transferred to the MoD of Ukraine a few month earlier. That's a least what pictures of an Ukrainian UH-60 starting to emerge on the internet in February 2023 suggest, as those pictures show a Blackhawk wearing the very same paint scheme as N60FW, plus the yellow / blue Ukrainian flag and roundel.

This 2009 built EC-135 first saw service in Romania as YR-RYC, then in France as F-HCHL (call sign SAMU 28), before being sold to the "Administraciones Locales Xunta de Galicia" (the Galicia Government). It's one of two HEMS helicopters operated in the province of Galicia and is seen here lifting of for a medical mission from its base at the public hospital of Santiago de Compostela. "061" is the phone number to be called in case of emergency.

N460UH, operated by Orbic Air, is ex US Army 83-23841 and has been prepared by Pickering Aviation to be certified in the FAA "Restricted" category. As such, it can only be used for limited aerial work of public interest, like e.g. fighting forest fires. Helitak's Fire Tank FT4500 system - seen here mounted under the airframe - can take on 1100 US-Gallons of water in less than a minute, expanding under the belly. After the drop, it automatically retracts to its empty profile of just 12 inches.

Founded in the early 1990's, Hainan Airlines is currently China's biggest private airline. Of the 220 aircraft operated at the time of upload, the B737-800 Series counts for 135 units alone. B-1372 shown here was built in December 2017. The remaining fleet is compromised of B737 Max 8, Airbus 330 and Boeing 787 Dreamliners. Nine A350's were also operated as from January 2018, but those had a rather short life with Hainan, with some only lasting a few month before being passed on to other airlines. By March 2024, the last A350 had left the fleet to become HS-THU with Thai Airways.

As of March 2024, United operated close to 900 aircraft, of which some 135 were of the Boeing 737-900ER Series alone. The airframe shown here on approach to SAN was delivered new to the airline in May 2013. United was founded in April 1926 and - after merging with Continental in December 2011 - remains one of three big traditional US carriers, besides American Airlines and Delta Airlines.

For a long time, Air-Glaciers was known to operate just SA-315 Lama and SA-316 / 319 Alouette III helicopters. It was only in 2001 that famous swiss pioneer Bruno Bagnoud finally "gave" in and ordered the first AS-350B3 helicopter for Air-Glaciers. Built in 2001 and registered HB-ZCZ in August that year, this helicopter wrote history for Air-Glaciers. It should serve the company well for the next almost 23 years till April 2, 2024, when it was unfortunately involved in an accident at the Petit Combin mountain in the canton of Valais, with three of the six occupants being killed.

In April 2021, N43CU became Coulson's 5th CH-47D. Originally built as a CH-47C (cn B736 / US FY # 74-22272), it was remanufactured / modified to CH-47D standard in 1990. Interestingly, new c/n M3334 plus new US FY # 90-0182 was assigned to this airfame during the upgrade. Retired by the US Army around 2015, apparently becoming N160BE (not confirmed) with Unical and then N43CU in August 2019 (confirmed). The Edison sticker title suggests the heli had been contracted by the electrical company at the time the picture was taken.

Built in May 2021 with test registration SP-YVL, N476DF shown here is number 9 of 12 Firehawks initially ordered by CAL Fire (a follow-up order for 4 additional Firehawks has since been placed). The heli briefly carried fleet number 305 (for Prado Helitack base) but has since received # 608, as all CAL Fire Firehawks are getting a 6XX fleet number. The reason is that they will be moved around between the various Helitack bases throughout California for operational and maintenance reasons, and will not be assigned to a fixed base like the UH-1 Huey's they replace.

This aircraft is ex US Coast Guard serial 1708 and has registration N464DF reserved (previously assigned to a Cessna 337 Skymaster), but no civil registration is worn at the photo date. It flew with the US Forest Service as "Tanker 116" during the 2017 fire season and was reported to become N116Z eventually, a registration reserved by the US Forest Service since 1997. However, there is no proof that this registration was ever carried by this aircraft, which was handed over to CAL Fire after a 2018 US Forest Service decision to abandon its Hercules fleet.

On July 6, 2022, ROTAK took delivery of its first two CH-47D from Columbia Helicopters. The two helis (both ex US Army a/c) were N377RA and N388RA. Unfortunately, the latter was destroyed on July 21, 2022 already, killing both crew. N366RA shown here was built in 1980 as a CH-47C (FY serial # 79-23400) and in 1991/92 was modified to the CH-47D standard, becoming 91-00244. It joined the ROTAK fleet in November 2022, getting this attractive and colorful livery. A 4th CH-47D (N344RA, ex 86-01663) was delivered to ROTAK as recent as January 2024. The company also operates three Kaman K-Max's.

The San Diego Fire Department currently operates two helicopters out of Montgomery airfield: this 2017 built Firehawk plus one Bell 412 (with a 2nd on order as of March 2024) can be dispatched for SAR and firesuppressing duties. A 1980 built Bell 212 was also operated till 2023, when technical issues grounded the helicopter. The SDFD's original intend was to aquire three Firehawks, but increase in cost lead to the decision to operate a mixed fleet.

This 2018 built S-70i was the 1st of 12 Firehawks ordered by CAL Fire. It initially carried fleet number 903 but has since been renumbered to 611. Seen here resting at the Prado Helitack base (adjacent to a prison facility) south of the city of Chino. The base is to become CAL Fire's main helicopter hub in Southern Californina. A follow-up order for 4 additional Firehawks is currently being exercised. The fleet of 16 Firehawks will allow to keep enough in service, while a few will either serve as back-up or undergo maintenance.

This 2011 built AW139 had a rather short life, as it was destroyed during an accident on June 30, 2011 already, at the very location this picture was taken a bare three month before. The accident happened during a training flight and before the aircraft joined the growing AgustaWestland fleet of Weststar. Luckily, none of the three persons on board was killed.

Founded in 2013 as successor to Air Malawi (active between 1963 and late 2012), Malawian Airlines is a joint venture between Ethiopian Airlines (holding a 49% share) and the Malawi Government, owing 51%. ET-AQB shown here was leased from Ethiopian between January 2014 and October 2023, the month it was replaced by a leased Ethiopian B737-700 (registered ET-AVP). In 2016, the titles on ET-AQB were slightly changed from "Malawian" to simply "Malawi".
