From the Airbus Helicopter pressroom:
Airbus Helicopters has delivered two H145s to the Ecuadorian Air Force, the first military customer in South America for this multi-purpose twin-engine helicopter. A total of six H145s will be delivered over the next year. The H145 helicopters, known as “Cobra” in the Ecuadorian Air Force, will be assigned to the 22nd Combat Wing in Guayaquil.
Not surprisingly, the date of 27 October was chosen as it is the 100th anniversary of the Fuerza Aérea Ecuatoriana.
Despite the current Covid pandemic, an air show (!) was held today in Ecuador as well see @FuerzaAereaEc on Twitter
