Just recently a factory new MD Explorer has been seen at a completion center in the USA.

The helicopter is equipped with inflatable emergency floats, a rescue hoist and has a sleek livery with large UNITED RESCUE markings.

Any clues about the Operator and the number of units involved ? :confused:

United Aviation is probably the proud future owner of that machine.

The 2 Kuwaiti flags may be a clue.

Was talking to the owners of them at the MEBA convention in Dubai recently. Its the first of a few they are going to be getting.

They used to operate an MD500E as well as a 365N for the Emir and then commercially but ceased commercial ops and restructured the whole company. They also have a bunch of Embraer Legacy biz jets.
