This aircraft was imported to Japan in 1978 and was used by Toho Airlines until 2014. The aircraft's registration number is JA9193, and it is a very nostalgic aircraft that was used to transport supplies to mountain huts and for mountain rescue missions. Even in America, it flies in the Toho Airlines colors, making it feel like I'm still in Japan. Unfortunately, it is not possible to see the SA315BLAMA in Japan, so I am very happy to be able to see it on video like this.

Thanks for the comment. Indeed this aircraft still had a packet with a Japanese good luck prayer in the cockpit. It eventually sold to a city in the mountains of Peru.

Is there a Lama/Alouette variant where the pilot sits in the center of a three-abreast bench seat?

So similar to the Gazelle

I heard years ago that the SA315 has no transmission. The rotors are driven by bleed air which is directed out the blade tips. Is there any truth to that?

Is it true thar it can lift about 1.3ton

I thought you boost pump, then check for pissing , then vent and then go for start? Just wondering thanks!
