United States Navy (NY)

On 17 May 2018, Airbus Helicopters announced that they

offer their H135 twin-engined helicopter (formerly known

as EC135) as an option for the US Navy’s planned helicopter

trainer replacement programme. The H135, with registra-

tion N466AH and construction number 2013 , is presented in

full US Navy colours and displayed at the 2018 Naval Heli-

copter Association Symposium in Norfolk (VA). The United

States Navy anticipates to purchase a fleet of 105 helicop-

ters to replace the current aging 115-strong fleet of TH-57

Sea Ranger. The Sea Rangers came into service back in 1968.

The new US Navy helicopter trainer will be an off-the-shelf

model to speed up the procurement programme. The US

Navy expects to start buying in FY 2020 or 2021.

Some distance from home can be said about this MCAS Beaufort (SC) based F/A-18D. Flying with the VMFA(AW)-224 Flying Bengals, the addi-

tional tiger spirit highlights are reflected on 164878/WK-01. (El Centro, 26 April 2018, Ton van Bakel)
