In 2019 an Airbus H145 set the world record for the highest landing for a twin engined aircraft when it landed on the peak.

 

But can't find anything about new owners.

Sorry, @Paul821 not a helicopter. It was one of thousands, but was the only one for the new operator.

That made finding the aircraft rather too easy

The familiar wind I get but not the other parts of the question. Perhaps someone else can claim the next question by filling in the cars etc..

[GiampieroSilvestri]

The aircraft is correct!What is the link to the other things?

Here is a tip:The company that built the aircraft was V ery L arge but later all parts were sold to other companies.

Here is the answer.Pyörremyrsky means whirlwind.It looks familiar because it had a Daimler Benz DB605 engine and VDM propeller and the front looks the same of a Messerschmitt Bf 109 F or early G.The aircraft was built by VL which also made or still makes cars,tractors,busses,trains and road construction machines.
