AS 355 F1 OO-HSB, AS 355 F2 OO-HSK are both owned and operated by Heli Service Belgium, Halle.

AS 355 F2 OO-HSK was registered with Heli Service Belgium on 11 January 2007 (Ex OK-MIA)
The OO-HSK was the replacement of AS 355 F1 OO-HSH that was DBR after that aircraft collided in Antwerp with the AB.206B Jet Ranger II OO-SKE on 25 June 2006.

At this moment (at least 5 days ago) they still fly the OO-HSK. I think this helicopter will be replaced by the OO-HSM within a short time.

i was there at the facilities on october 4 during "open bedrijvendag". OO-HSN is only a temporary replacement helicopter.
with the new EU regulations regarding to these helicopters, a new and more powerfull helicopter is now required, this new helicopter, of witch the type and serial is still unknown, is expected to be delivered somewhere in or after 2010. 8)
