The H225 is the last word in a Super Puma line that has flown since the 1970s — a big, all-weather twin that shuttles oil workers far offshore and flies search-and-rescue in conditions that ground everything else. When the weather is terrible and the distance is long, this is the machine.

Fun fact

Super Pumas routinely fly 200+ miles offshore in North Sea weather — among the harshest routine flying in civil aviation.

How to spot one

Big five-blade main rotor, long cabin with airline-style windows, and a distinctive nose profile. Usually in offshore operator colors or coast guard paint.
