Bell 206

The Bell 206 JetRanger is a general purpose helicopter that comfortably seats four passengers with a cruising speed of 110 knots and range of 385 miles (about 3 flight hours). The JetRanger is ideally suited for tours, utility missions, aerial surveying, corporate transport and executive helicopter charter. The Bell helicopter family of turbine powered rotary wing aircraft is widely considered to be the safest, most reliable aircraft of any kind flying throughout the world. The first Bell 206 helicopter was revealed at the Helicopter Association International (HAI) convention in 1966. Later that same year the JetRanger received full certification by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Amazingly, the basic design and shape of the Jetranger have remained unchanged since 1967, a true testament to the perfection achieved with the original B206 design.
