Airbus Helicopters delivered the 400th UH-72 Lakota twin to the U.S. Army in late August at its assembly plant in Columbus, Miss., and fielded at Fort Rucker, Ala. The aircraft is the 160th Lakota fielded at the Army's primary rotary wing training facility. Today, half of all new U.S. Army aviators train on the UH-72 Lakota. Airbus will deliver nine more UH-72s to the Army this year.
