The Portuguese Air Force’s (PoAF) AW101 medium / heavy three-engine helicopter fleet has achieved 10,000 flying hours while performing search and rescue, and fishery protection missions.
The PoAF received the first of 12 AW101s in late 2004. Equipped with a cabin mission console to control the 360° scan radar, forward-looking infrared (FLIR) camera and a communications suite, the AW101 has saved 630 lives so far.
