The first NHIndsutries NH90 TTH transport helicopter wearing the temporarily registration F-ZWBE, will be delivered to the Belgian Air Force on Friday December 21st, 2012 during a ceremony organised at NHIndusties plant at Marignane (France). Ten NH90 helicopters including four aircraft in
the TTH (Tactical Transport Helicopter) version, four in the NFH (NATO
Frigate Helicopter) version - and two options were ordered by the Belgian Government on June 18th, 2007. Delivery of these helicopters has been considerably delayed and Koksijde airbase, which will use the NFH variant, is eagerly expecting delivery of the first machines so that the largely overdue replacement of the ageing Westland Seaking rescue helicopters can start.
Best regards,
