Just rolled out of its hangar and prepared by maintenance for a new trainings sortie over southern Spain. The H269A was used for the Spanish Air Force basic helicopter training. Delivered in October 1978 to the Ejército del Aire and served Escuadron 782 up to 31 March 2011. The type was replaced by the EC120B Colibri. 78-45 was stored at Granada from March 2011 and eventually sold to Germany as D-HOBS to Ochtendung heliport in June 2002.
