About the Eurocopter AS332 Super Puma

Water-bombing helicopter

It uses a suspended bucket or an installed tank to take water from a nearby source and place short, precise drops, including in steep or confined terrain. Depending on its configuration, it may also move crews, equipment, or rescue teams.

What this type can do

The Super Puma or H215 is a heavy utility helicopter that can lift a large bucket or use a firefighting tank for high-volume, accurate drops. It can also carry firefighters and equipment when both suppression and logistics are needed.

This describes the type’s usual firefighting capability; it does not prove what this aircraft is carrying or doing now.

The Airbus Helicopters H215 is a four-bladed, twin-engined, medium-sized, utility helicopter developed and initially produced by French aerospace company Aérospatiale. It has been subsequently manufactured by the successor companies Eurocopter and Airbus Helicopters. The Super Puma is a re-engined and larger version of the original Aérospatiale SA 330 Puma. The military version is the Airbus Helicopters H215M, previously known as the Eurocopter AS532 Cougar.
