We recently spent four days with the Finnish Army Helicopter Battalion at Utti in Eastern Finland. The Helicopter Battalion provides Finland, and since last year NATO, with a very specific skillset and experience base. The principal platform of the Battalion is the NHIndustries NH90TTH, which is used to support Special Operations Forces and Army units with air mobility. They are also equipped with the MD500 which is used for training, specialist roles in built-up areas, and to develop the skill of its pilots so that they are ready for service on the NH90. Stay tuned for lots more from this visit! #Finland #NATO #FinnishArmy #SpecialOperations #NH90 #Helicopter #Aviation #VerticalMag #FYP
