Lurforsvaret's 337 Skv was reestablished in 1980 to operate Lynx helicopters from the Coast Guard's Nordkapp class patrol vessels in the Arctic. The first helicopters arrived in October 1980. After serving for 34 years, the last was retired in December 2014. The Lynx originally had a service life of 7,000 hours. Several of 337 Skv's Lynx were retired with more than 9,000 hours flying time. As this detail shot shows 235 is the World Fleet Leader with 9,198.3 hours flying time. Most of those hours were flown in the Arctic in all weather and light conditions.
