Built in late 2007 and delivered new to PHI in January 2008, which flew it till August 2015, the month it was sold to Canadian Helicopters and registered C-GNZV. Back to PHI as N940P in June 2017 and then transferred to HNZ Australia in February 2018, becoming VH-IPZ. Still current there at the time of upload, albeit in a now white and red SAR paint scheme and equipped with a rescue hoist. Note: In 2007, registration N921PH had been briefly assigned to S-92A c/n 92.0067, which became N465VL in October 2007 and was initially operated by Evergreen Helicopters.

Petroleum Helicopters operated Aerospatiale SA330J Pumas between the late 1970s and 1988 servicing offshore drilling rigs in the USA. N3601U was photographed at PHI's Morgan City heliport on the shore of Lake Palourde, which was known as the world's largest heliport when PHI opened it in 1969. After flying in Ecuador as HC-BPD in the late 1980s, PHI sold it to Air Zermatt where it became HB-XUB in June 1989. It was written off on Sep. 11, 1989 when it crashed after both engines failed while lifting an external load near Blauherd. PHI lost four of its Pumas in fatal accidents in 1978-1988.

A bare two month after this picture was taken, N748P suffered a fatal accident on January 4, 2009 with eight of the nine persons on board being killed. Cause of the accident was a birdstrike (red-tailed hawk) fracturing the windshield and interferring with the engine controls, resulting in the loss of power to both engines from which the crew was unable to recover. A similar incident happened to S-76 N276TH in 1999.
