Final landing for the military Vertol 107
Mar 02, 2011
The well-known and long-lived workhorse of the Swedish Armed Forces made its very last landing as a military helicopter yesterday. The Vertol 107, designated HKP 4 in the military, has now been retired after 48 years in faithful service.
The last aircraft, Y-70 (04070), was flown from its former base in Ronneby to Säve Airport in Gothenburg, escorted by a HKP 15 (Agusta 109) and a HKP 10 (Super Puma), for the final landing. The helicopter was donated to the Aeroseum Aviation Museum at Säve, which will operate and display Y-70 as a flying exhibit.
