Botswana celebrated 50 years of independence by showing off three new deliveries at the Gaborone International Airshow and the Independence Day flypast in September.
The aircraft were an ex-Spanish Police EC225LP Super Puma for the VIP helicopter flight, a Kodiak for Wildlife and National Parks (accompanied by 4 Jabirus that were acquired earlier in the year), and a Super King Air that wore a striking scheme in the national colours that is expected to go to wildlife as well.
All had been delivered over the preceding month, the Super Puma carrying temporary marking consisting of the national coat of arms.
