In January, 2018, Nextera Energy took delivery of the first AW169 in the US. By March 2023, there were 11 AW169s registered in the US, including msn 69153 awaiting delivery to Parkview Samaritan, which currently operates two AS365Ns from bases in Fort Wayne (Samaritan 1) and Rochester, Ind. (Samaritan 2). The AW169 first flew in these colours in Italy in April 2022 as I-EASI and later with Leonardo Helicopters in Philadelphia as N884ST. It was transported by road to Atlanta for Heli-Expo 2023 and displayed as N199SM, which is a registration still carried by the hospital's AS365N, msn 6396.
