history

On July 1, 1980, a Bölkow Bo 105 was put into service for air rescue in the region around Göttingen. In June 2007 the leased Bo 105 was returned to the manufacturer and replaced by a Eurocopter EC 135 T2i . Two radial compressor turbines, each with a capacity of 519 kW, accelerate the helicopter to up to 250 km / h, which is 35 km / h faster than the previous model.
