The Super Puma at super level

The transport helicopters 89 (TH89), better known as Super Pumas, are heavy workers: They carry people and goods to natural disaster areas in Switzerland and abroad, are used for rapid displacement of troops, assist in search and rescue or extinguish forest fires. After 20 years of service, they are being subjected to a value retention programme. Here they are equipped with further capabilities and renamed as TH06 helicopters.
