Capt Gonzo, I am interested to know why the EC145 is better than the explorer, not questioning what you're saying, just want the information.

The ship would have a few large inflatable boats - they should have rafted one up either side of the helicopter,

@mfriskel: Of course it is just my own opinion

@bolkow: In my opinion the EC-145 has the better avionics and the more modern Cockpit layout. I like the Autopilot of the EC very much. It provides you more space, more power and a greater endurance.

A few years ago the EMS fleet in Germany operated a mix of MD and EC Helicopters. Now the MD´s are all gone they were replaced also with EC´s.

People which flew both the EC 145 and the MD Explorer tell me that they prefer the EC-145.
I have never tested the Explorer myself but I´m satisfied with the EC-145.

Did I mention that the first operational machine I flew was the OH-58A. It was the only actual point of reference I had then and I was very satisfied with it.
