27 April 2017 last flight HD19 Puma 801 Esc

Post by maurits »

Yesterday at Son San Juan/Palma de Mallorca 801 Esc HD19 Puma last flight took place. After 44 years of service the HD19s will be phased out. It is expected the Sasemar AW139s will take over the SAR duties....

That's odd, according to the Spanish AF one Puma should still perform at Rota in September.
