whats a SAR gonna do in PR?

and I believed they got a different skin these days they removed the pompebled on the back rotor because they are stationed in Den Helder now

Although its a very nice helicopter these birds are ONLY used for SAR duty on the North sea and Wadden sea & civilian MEDEVAC for the Wadden islands.

And i also believe they will all be replaced together with all Lynx squadrons for the NH-90 any time soon.

Well nice colours

The dutch paint scheme(even if its only grey) ROCKS! It just looks so good on that chopper!

NH90 has more then 1 role, and they're getting both types.
NH-90 NFH (NATO Frigate Helicopter) - Can be used on carriers in PR.
NH-90 TTH (Tactical Transport Helicopter) - Can be used on land.

Here a small movie of the NH90!

Surely, a Dutch corporation, Stork Fokker has taken parts of the NHIndustries which build this chopper.
The version you show us is the Navy Version (NFH) which has a radar on its stomach (the circle you can see)
I didn't know NH90s have been already delivered to Dutch Forces.

Replacing the lynx with for the NH-90?! Are they nuts? Best chopper ever...

@Hauteclocque
This version was the test aircraft, according to various sources the delivery of the aircraft should begin this year.

@Kroon
We have ordered 2 types, the NFH (NATO Frigate Helicopter and some MTTH (Marinised Tactical Transport helicopter). We are NOT buying the regular TTH.

i love the NH90 =)

is that a lego huey very bright colors

Well if it's a SAR helicopter, then bright colors would make it easier to be spotted. I think so anyway.
This would be the contrary of helicopters with more active combat roles which they would have more neutral colors or camouflage at best in order to blend visually at long distances.

But yeah agreed. It does look like Lego
