Dry Air,

It will be on the Nigerian registration once it arrives in its new home in Lagos. They should be having their first night stop on the African continent, in company with another S76C+ also en route to Nigeria for Bristow.

The S92 will be very nice as it has an APU and an ECU so the air conditioning can be powered up even if the aircraft is sitting on the ground with the rotors stopped.

Despite the problems in Nigeria, it has some of the newest helicopters around in one African country with S92s, EC225s, AW139s, S76C++s, Bell 412EPs and SA365N3s - not to mention the Bell 407s and rather older, but still good AS332Ls. There's still good flying to be had out here.
