AEE-465

Aircraft:
Aérospatiale AS 332B Super Puma
Reg: AEE-465 photos
Serial #:
2105
Airline: Ecuador - Army
Photo Date: Aug 26, 2021

La Balbina - SEBB, Ecuador

Notes:

After almost two years, this Super Puma sees sunlight again. It underwent its 500-hour maintenance but due to many reasons, sat stored. In this photo, the pilots and ground crew, along with mechanics are working on aligning the rotors in order to reduce the excessive vibrations... The poor pilots were being shaken up in there. Hopefully, it continues flying since it's the only one in the Army Aviation fleet with a special color scheme.
