Is this the US version of the EH-101? From the combined efforts of: Agusta Westland,Bell Helicopters and Lockheed Martin?Knowing that, the Italian version-( Agusta Westland) was the first to produce this new version of "Super Copters"/EH-101.Hat's off to the Italians!!! "Dolce Vita"!! Does the U.S. Navy have one yet? I'm sure they will, got to see one!!
@jackmarsilva Dude, just to set you straight, the AW101/EH101 was *jointly* developed by *British* Westland and Italian Augusta. Westland playing a major part developing and manufacturing it in Yeovil, England. The Two merged to form AugustaWestland - now owned by Finmeccanicia, but still a joint British and Italian company.
As it says in the Title, this is the British RAF HC3, the US VH71 is the one you have in mind - first flight in Yeovil, England, 2007!! Not sure if the USN has them yet

love the sound of the Merlin,missed the demo of them last season,but had the arrival of it the day before so that was a liitle bandage for the wound.
it's a real smooth helicopter capable to great manouvres, excellent footage and flying.
