Description

The provisional helicopter V-77 is seen during a display in northern Sweden. The aircraft was one of four BO 105s that were used on a temporary basis as the 20 HKP 9s of the Swedish Army were about to be constructed at MBB’s German Donauwörth plant. It was used between the years 1985 and 1987.

The aircraft was later acquired by Heli AB in 1987 and put service as a try-out EMS helicopter in Visby. It stayed in Sweden and is still (2010 active). The helicopter outlived the military HKP 9s, that were delivered from 1987 and retired between 2008-2010.
