This 2002 built EC145 joined the REGA fleet as 1st of it's kind in January 2003. Four more were introduced that same year, while a 6th heli was purchased in late 2008. They operated out of the "lowland" bases Lausanne, Berne, Basle, Zurich and St Gallen. In 2019, all six were sold to the Royal Moroccan Gendarmerie (Al-Darak al-Malikiy) and ferry flown to Morocco, still wearing the basic REGA colors but already registered in the CN-BZ.. range. HB-ZRA was the last delivered to Morocco and became CN-BZU in August 2020.

At the Essen airshow. I photographed this Ju 52 at Ahlen earlier in the day.

Agrarflug Helilift hosted a little airshow today at its Ahlen base, called 'the Beese farm' by locals. The company maintains a 700 m (2300 ft) grass runway which is plentiful for a Ju 52.
