The story

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

The H225's five-blade main rotor is 53 feet across, wider than the wingspan of many business jets.
