Julien Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 The UH-72 Lakota is a militarized version of the Eurocopter EC145. The helicopter was selected as the winner of the United States Army's Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) program in 2006 with a production contract for 345 aircraft to replace aging UH-1H/V and OH-58A/C helicopters in the U.S. Army and Army National Guard fleets. These helicopters are built in the US. Pics thanks to DL Munne. Photographed at Cecil Field, the UH-72 is replacing the OH-58A+ previously operated by the Florida National Guard. The unit has four aircraft. Two are slicks and two are MEP versions. MEP is able to mount a FLIR turret on the nose and a Nightsun on the pilots side.
