The highest standards aren’t written. They’re proven. It’s been there. It’ll be there. That’s the beauty of the time-tested 206B- 3 JetRanger III. Rugged and reliable, it comes with the best safety record of any helicopter in the industry. No wonder it’s the most popular turbine helicopter ever built.

The JetRanger series has become the definitive turbine powered light utility and corporate helicopter of the past three decades. The legendary Bell 206B JetRanger III is simply the most successful commercial helicopter ever built. Flying in every type of climate from the artic to the jungles, to the hottest deserts of the worlds, the 206 has accepted, accomplished more missions, has flown more hours and has set (and broken) more industry records than any other aircraft in the world.

The B206 is relatively stable and easy to handle, even for low hours helicopter pilots. It is fairly fast, with a cruise speed of 115 knots (around 125 mph), and also enjoyable to fly. It is comfortable and roomy for passengers, and visibility is excellent, even from the back of the cockpit. The aircraft is also one of the world’s safest helicopters. Overall, it has much to recommend it, and very few vices. This is proved by the fact that JetRangers have flown more than 26 million flight hours in total.

We chose this aircraft for all the above reasons plus it has dual synchronized GPS systems, air conditioning, leather seats, redundant communications, VRS - Vibration Reduction System, tinted windows, warbling headlights.
