The History of the Ecureuil family

As we celebrate the 7,000th Ecureuil delivery mid 2022, take a look at the history of these extraordinary helicopters, which have accumulated 37M flight hours with 2,000 operators in 124 countries! We would like to thank all of our customers who have placed their trust in these helicopters for the past 48 years. The Ecureuil has several altitude records to its credit. The most notable of these was on 14 May, 2005 when Didier Delsalle touched down on the summit of Mount Everest behind the controls of a serial H125 — the only helicopter to have ever accomplished this amazing feat. #H125 #H130 #AirbusHelicopters AirbusHeritage #AviationHistory
