The National Football League’s Dallas Cowboys franchise finished dead last in its conference last year with a 4-12 record, but the team is still profitable enough to allow owner Jerry Jones to take delivery of a new Airbus Helicopters H145 medium twin. It was handed over to Jones last week, painted in team livery, including the Cowboys’ signature blue star on the top of the vertical stabilizer.
The completion was performed by Airbus Helicopters in Grand Prairie, Texas, near Dallas. Elements of the corporate interior can be quickly removed to allow the H145 to soldier more primitive chores at Jones’s ranch.

However, Jones plans to use the H145 mainly to ferry himself and his management team between the Cowboys’ practice facility and administrative offices in Frisco in suburban North Dallas to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, wher the Cowboys play. “This helicopter will save us valuable time and allow members of our organization to work and live more efficiently,” said Jones.
