The Eurocopter EC175 helicopter started its US demo tour at Bristow’s North America headquarters at New Iberia, Louisiana.

Oil industry executives and offshore operators joined the Eurocopter and Bristow teams for the EC175’s first public showcase.

The guests had the opportunity to take a close look at the new helicopter in static display and discuss with the pilots and technicians. American Eurocopter president and CEO Marc Paganini welcomed guests and spoke to them about the advantages that this aircraft will bring to the American oil and gas market.
