Eurocopter BO105 Helicopter in South Africa
Originally built by Eurocopter (Aerospatiale / MBB heritage), now Airbus Helicopters.
The Eurocopter BO105 is a compact twin-engine helicopter buyers consider for utility, public-service, EMS, patrol, and specialist missions where maneuverability and twin-engine redundancy matter. It is a legacy platform, so component status, support path, mission equipment, and operating history decide the deal. Compared with single-engine light helicopters, the BO105 adds redundancy and complexity; compared with newer light twins, it is more legacy-support dependent.
