In 2023, the provincial Coast Guard of Galicia (Northwest Spain) replaced their two S-76's with two AW139. EC-OEO shown here was built in 2010 and briefly carried registration N209YS and G-FBHA before the UK Ministry of Defence started to operate it as from April 2011 till around 2019 under military serial ZR283. The heli then briefly went back to FB Helicopters as G-FBHA before being sold to Avincis Spain, responsible for the Xunta de Galicia SAR contract. Seen taxiing out for an evening training flight at its home base at Vigo airport. This photo is copyright © Adrian Romang, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
