This 1964 built S-61 first flew with New York Airways as N92866, then as PH-NZA with KLM Helikopters which also leased it to the United Nations in the 1990's for a humanitarian operation in Bosnia. Next stop was with ERA Helicopters before it finally joined Coulson in June of 2019. Since forest or wild fires are often ignited by sparks originating from power lines, the heli can be seen here standing-by on a fire fighting contract, hired by the electrical company Edison, of which a small sticker can be seen under the cockpit window.
