Interesting, I guess it's going to be a new generation Fennec and a good manufacturing / export program for the United States.

Laughingly when I was walking around the Airbus chalet (after brief on Serbian H145M) there was a green unmarked H125 with Hforce and various bits of weapons next to it (my pics below), with American Congressional delegation walking around it







cheers

Maybe President Macron can interest his mate Xi in a bunch of them? If he ever finds himself out of office, he should really consider a job in helicopter sales, as he appears to better at it that anyone else in the organization...

Just remember that if you are considering buying them to escort your VVIP-carrying helis, you might want to make sure that it can keep up with them first..
