The "Super Puma Display Team" of the Swiss Air Force is a helicopter aerobatics team. It derives its name from the Eurocopter AS332 Super Puma. The Super Puma Display Team performs at various events at home and abroad, the flight capabilities and flight performance of an AS332M1 Super Puma or Eurocopter AS532 Cougar. Since the introduction of the Super Puma in 1989, a flight program was presented to the public to demonstrate the efficiency of this transport helicopter. After 16 years, in 2005, the Super Puma Display Team received official demonstration team status The Eurocopter (now Airbus Helicopters) AS332 Super Puma is a four-bladed, twin-engine, medium-size utility helicopter developed and marketed by Aérospatiale and Eurocopter (now Airbus Helicopters). It is an enlarged and re-engined version of the original Aérospatiale SA 330 Puma. First flying in 1978, the Super Puma succeeded the SA 330 Puma as the main production model of the type in 1980; since 1990, Super Pumas in military service have been marketed under the AS532 Cougar designation. In civilian service, a next generation successor to the AS 332 was introduced in 2004, the further-enlarged Eurocopter EC225 Super Puma.
