Ex US Army serial 79-23286, registered to Timberline Helicopters as N286TH in late 2016. High Performance Helicopters took it on board in 2017 and used it for trial and certification flights of (Australian company) Helitak's Fire Tank FT4500 system. Certified in January 2020, the water tank is seen here mounted under the heli's cabin, measuring only 12 inches in it's empty profile. It takes the - also visible - orange HP6000 snorkel pump just 46 seconds to fill the 1100 US-Gallon tank, which then expands under the belly. After the drop, it automatically retracts to its empty profile again.

This 2008 built AW139 has been delivered to Elilario, and then in March 2009 joined the fleet of INEAR Italy. When INEAR was gradually taken over by Babcock International as from 2014, this heli joint the Babcock fleet too. With any markings - other than the blue Babcock logo - absent, it seems to serve as spare heli at the time of upload. As such it was in Borgosesia covering for an Air Green AW139 under maintenance and a week later was flying HEMS mission between Lampedusa and Sicilia in southern Italy already.

The italian fire service (Vigili del Fuoco - VdF) has been flying licenced built Agusta-Bell 412's since June of 1984. 23 units have been purchased directly and serialled VF-50 through VF-72. Civilian registrations starting with I-VF... are assigned as well, but not visible externally. When the "Corpo Forestale dello Stato", another italian state organisation was disabled in 2016, some twelve 2nd hand AB412CS's were transferred to the VdF. Those helis were re-serialled to VF-114 (ex CFS-14) to VF-127 (ex CFS-27). Some of them still kept the green CFS livery for a while.

The austrian police started to introduce eight EC135P2+ in 2008, and added four H135P3 in 2019, one of the latter being OE-BXR. It is pictured here at the austrian police aviation headquarters in the middle of Vienna-Meidling. The base is pretty much surrounded by residents and living quarters, and therefore, this historic heliport will close in 2024, but not before the aviation unit will have moved to it's new base at Wiener Neustadt. The registration OE-BXR has previously been assigned to another austrian police helicopter (Bell 206B3 Jet Ranger S/N 4413).

OE-XBT, the austrian police's sole Jet Ranger, returns from a training flight to it's base at Wien-Vöslau. Since the late 1960's, the austrian police operated a total of six licence built Agusta-Bell 206 Jet Rangers, of which some were written off after accidents, and the remaining replaced by AS-350B1 Ecureuil's as from the mid 1980's. Then in 1996/97, two Bell 206B3 Jet Rangers were introduced for basic flight training, of which only OE-BXT remains operational at the time of upload. The other - OE-BXR - ended up in Uganda, flying for the East African country's Air Force.

VH-ESH was the very first HEMS / SAR AW139 introduced to Australia in 2007, and thus the oldest when pictured in Archerfield in September 2022, operating under callsign "RSCU500". Since 2007, some 35 additional AW139 followed with different australian HEMS / SAR operators, the Queensland Government Air (Service) being one of them, operating five AW139's.

Based at Doha and assigned to Flying Wing 1 and 7th Air Superiority Squadron respectively, the Qatar AF operated twelve Mirage 2000-5 between 1997 and 2019. All have apparantly been sold to a french company called "Advanced REDAIR European Squadron" (ARES), but they have not yet been taken to the sky in their new adversary role it seems.

Picture taken during a ceremony to conclude the last repetition course of Fliegerstaffel 2 & Fliegerkompanie 15 operating Hunters out of Ulrichen, after which the airfield was closed to jet traffic. J-4119 was built in 1955 and served with the RAF until 1970 (serialled WV380). After refurbishment by Hawker Siddeley, it was part of an 1971 order of 30 second hand Hunter Mk58As for the Swiss AF, to supplement the 100 new aircraft bought back in 1958. Two more orders for 2nd hand a/c followed: one in 1973 for 22 single and finally one in 1974 for eight dual seat Hunters (TMk68).

This piston engine powered PC-6 was built in 1962 and is one of only two remaining operational worldwide, all others have been converted to P&W PT6 turbines. The HIMALAYA retro paint scheme pays tribute to the PC-6 prototype HB-FAN S/N 337, which took part in the Swiss Dhaulagiri Expedition in May 1960 but crashed at 5'200 m/AMSL. Part of the original "Yeti"'s registration HB-FAN was kept, but now reads "Yeti-FAN". Note the famous castle of Thun in the background.

Built in 2022 and put on the swiss register on May 11, 2022, this five bladed H145 is the latest addition to REGA's fleet, and the first of nine ordered. It was only in 2018 when REGA started to introduce seven BK117D-2 (with four Main Rotor Blades), planning to modify them to the latest D-3 model eventually. In 2021, REGA decided to get new helis instead, apparently because the modification kits were not availability in due time. The D-3 has a MTOW of 3'800 kg, just 100 kg more than the D-2. HB-ZQO is seen here temporarly operating under callsign "REGA 3" out of Bern-Belp airport.

Built in the late 1970's, this AB206 was delivered 2nd hand to the Macedonian National Police in 1991 and is the force's sole Jet Ranger. It first operated there as Z3-HHA before being re-serialled to MAP-7750. The previous history is not known. It is seen here after a ferry flight from Skopje, arriving at the Swiss Helicopter Maintenance (SHM) facility at Bern-Belp for maintenance. Also operated by the Macedonian NP is a Bell 212, a Bell 412 and a few Mi-17's. Name changed to North Macedonia Police in 2018 when the Prespa agreement with Greece kicked in.

Bell 205's became a rare sight in Europe. Came in at the last stunning light of the day to refuel, only to head out to the mountains again to fly a few more sling loads before the fall of night. Built in 1975, this airframe first served with the United Arab Emirates AF serialled 723, 115 and finally 333 before being sold to the Royal Air Force of Oman (RAFO, Silāḥ al-Jaww as-Sulṭāniy 'Umān) and serialled 738. Wucher Helicopter bought it around 2009, but had to invest quite a bit to obtain civilian EASA approval in order to operate it commercially.
