Description

Hoist operations during the last week of military rescue alert at the prominent Berga Helicopter Base in Stockholm. The base was closed in June 2005 and the fleet of Vertol 107s was eventually retired. This one, Y-73, was decommissioned after 9 493 hours in the air. It was recently one of ten BV/KV107s that were sold to the American operator Columbia Helicopters Inc.
