Aircraft:10401 (H-91)Photo date:Type:Oct, 2004Operator:Photo views:Location:1407Photo by:This is indeed a very impressive image. The Boden based 1st Helicopter Squadron had five helicopters at the time, and it held the rescue alert for entire northern Sweden. Four of the Super Pumas used to be based at the Boden base and one was based at the F4 Frösö Air Force base in Östersund. The image was shot as all five aircraft were gathered at the home base. A sight like this is extremely rare.
Both bases are now closed and a couple of the machines have been moved to the F21 Air Force Base in Luleå. The rest of them have been transferred to southern Sweden.
H-91 ditched in the water south of Ronneby in November of 2005. All occupants survived.
The helicopters visible in the image are most likely 10401, 10403, 10407, 10411 and 10412 (not mentioned by order).Direct link: http://www.nordicrotors.com/10401/1129 -

The heavy Super Puma generates a massive downwash, which gives vast storm winds and shilling water spray at the surface.
The image was shot during a rescue exercise at the Tåme Shooting Range near Pite as a couple of new rescue swimmers were prepared for active duty.Direct link: http://www.nordicrotors.com/10401/1864 -

History:
F-ZKBL
Fate:

The helicopter served as a search and rescue aircraft and was stationed at various Air Force Bases throughout Sweden. It operated parallel to BO105s and Bell 204s, but outlived them both.
ARMED FORCES HELICOPTER WING
1998 saw the structural birth of a new joint helicopter force - the Swedish Armed Forces Helicopter Wing. From 1 January 1999 the unit merged the helicopter operations from all the three military branches (Air Force, Army, and Navy) together. The new organisation had no impact on the HKP 10s other than providing them with a slightly wider range of tasks.
THE ACCIDENT
H-91 was lost in an accident in the sea near Lid? south of Ronneby, on 1st of November 2005. The crew of six and its two additional passengers was out for a night-time hoist exercise when the helicopter collided with the water during the approach to an Air Force boat. The pilots managed to deploy the floats, which kept the cracked helicopter afloat, although with a separated tail boom. All eight people onboard survived, but one of the passengers experienced a compression fracture.
The root of the accident was determined to be a number of flaws in the organisation that caused an insufficient cockpit work and subsequently lead to the crash. The aircraft was a write-off after 5 553 hours and 17,5 years in service.
