Erickson Completes 2019 Delivery For The Korean Forest Service

The Toughest Jobs Call For The Toughest Aircraft

Erickson has delivered "K8" to the Korean Forest Service (KFS), completing the delivery of their 2019, two aircraft order. This brings KFS operational fleet up to 6x S-64 Air Crane helicopters. KFS and Erickson share nearly a 20-year relationship, with developing a model firefighting and emergency response program complete with by-the-hour maintenance services, pilot training, and delivery of remanufactured aircraft.

The S-64 is well-known in Korea with a strong reputation for being the best firefighting aircraft available.

In 2001, KFS was the first foreign government to purchase S-64 helicopters from Erickson. Due to their success with the aircraft, KFS continues to modify and upgrade its fleet with the addition of K8, incorporating the latest modifications, including composite main rotor blades and glass cockpit.

KFS continues to be a leader in aerial firefighting, utilizing the most robust aircraft, for the toughest job.
