Metro Aviation recently revealed the final H125 configuration for authorities located in Mendoza, Argentina.

Mendoza dignitaries accepted the aircraft on behalf of its police force, which received two H125 models from Metro Aviation. The Shreveport, Louisiana-based completion centre outfitted the helicopters with a Bambi Bucket for fire fighting, upgraded avionics systems and a premium paint package.

“These aircraft are going back into service following their 12-year inspections. The helicopters include upgraded navigation systems and equipment updated to the newest standards,” said Pedro Martinez, Metro Aviation’s long-time business partner stationed in Argentina.

Martinez noted that, once in service, the aircraft will “perform law enforcement operations, search and rescues, high mountain missions and EMS missions.”

This delivery marks the tenth completion delivered to Argentina.
