This REACH crew departs the Hiller Aviation Museum’s Vertical Challenge helicopter airshow. The AgustaWestland AW109 is a lightweight, twin-engine, eight-seat multi-purpose helicopter built by the Italian manufacturer Leonardo (formerly AgustaWestland). This medevac configuration carries a three-person flight crew, a patient and whenever possible, a family member. The AW109 had the distinction of being the first all-Italian helicopter to be mass-produced, and has been in continuous production for 40 years. Nikon D300 w/80-200mm.
