Ex 3A-MJP (Heli Air Monaco), see also picture ID 426021. After seing this heli in Monaco in September of 1993, it was a joy to have another encounter with it some 20 years later, on the other side of the planet. RP-C1207 still wears the Heli Air Monaco colors when it was photographed during relief efforts after typhoon Haiyan (locally known as typhoon Yolanda) swept through the central Philippines in November of 2013. From the stickers applied, it appears that the Eurocopter foundation made it available to Geneva based aid organisation "Medecins Sans Frontieres" (Doctors Without Borders).

Developped from the single engine SA-360 Dauphin (only 36 units built), the SA-365C Dauphin 2 was just a bit more successfull, with some 80 units manufactured between 1977 & 1981. The Dauphin-Series only became a success with the introduction of the AS-365N version. 3A-MJP is a 1978 built airframe first operated in the US as N90049, followed by a conversion to C3 standard in 1984 (registered F-WYMC). Heli Air Monaco then flew it till around 2012. In July 2011, this airframe wore a Israel AF type camo livery for Bratt Pitts movie World War Z (shot in Malta). Sold to the Philippines as RP-C1207.

This early serial number Aerospatiale SA-360C Dauphin (msn 1004) was operating scheduled passenger flights from Manhattan's East 34th Street Heliport in April 1984, probably to JFK. It was probably the first Dauphin imported to the USA by Aerospatiale Helicopter Corp. in Texas since it was already N47284 when displayed at the 1976 Reading Airshow. New York Helicopter, Island Helicopter, and National Helicopter were sister companies. They were all evicted from E34th St. heliport in August 1997 after owing unpaid rent on the heliport they had also managed. Rotorspot says this 360C is preserved.

This former Irish Air Corp SA365F Dauphin II, 247, was imported to the US and displayed at HAI Heli-Expo 2008 in Houston, Texas. It was re-sold to the Armada de Chile later the same year. The US registration appears on the top of the tail fin.

Between 1993 and 1998, the french Marine / Navy took delivery of 15 improved AS-565SA Panther helicopters and assigned them to flotille 36F. In 2009, a 16th helicopter (c/n 6403 serialled 403) previously used for the testflight unit (CEV - Centre d'Essais en Vol) joined the fleet. "505" - pictured here during relief efforts after cyclone "Gafilo" hit Madagascar's east coast in March 2004 - was built in 1997 and became the prototype for version Standard 2. Not sure what that means as the remaining 15 seem to be Standard 1, according to http://www.ffaa.net/helicopters/panther/fleet.htm.
