Eurocopter has air-freighted an EC175 into the US for a demo tour, but only provided teaser photos so far of a bold blue colour scheme it has added to the first production example. This aircraft first flew in early December – see First production EC175 flies
The demonstration tour would be expected to visit all the key markets including West Coast, Gulf of Mexico and various points up the Eastern Seaboard from Florida to Massachusetts. How far it ventures inland remains to be seen, although clearly it will feature heavily at the upcoming Heli-Expo in Las Vegas.
