Description

Hovering in front of its hangar in Sundsvall.\r\n\r\nThe SAR helicopter was replaced by a S-76C++ (SE-JOJ) in early 2009. In 2010 the Sundsvall station was moved to a temporary location in Skellefteå, and the Sundsvall base was closed. Two years later, in April 2012, the unit moved to a custom built permanent base at Umeå Airport. The helicopter was repositioned in order to provide a better SAR coverage in the Gulf of Bothnia.
