This 1978 Bell 206B III Jet Ranger (N206SF, s/n 2392) presents as a well-maintained utility helicopter with 21,364.1 total hours on the airframe. Powered by a Rolls-Royce 250-C20B engine with 15,663.1 hours since new (25,546 cycles), the aircraft features meaningful upgrades including Van Horn main rotor blades, BLR tailboom strakes for improved efficiency, and an AFS inlet barrier filter. The avionics suite is highlighted by a Garmin 420W GPS, dual comms (including an SL40), and an L3-LYNX NGT9000 transponder with ADS-B Out capability.

Configured for versatile operations, this 5-place helicopter includes high skid gear, cargo hook, extended range fuel system (96.7-gallon capacity), and left-seat PIC certification. The exterior sports a white/blue livery with wedge windows and LED lighting, while the interior features utility-focused light brown fabric seats, shoulder harnesses, and gloss white door panels. Maintenance records are complete since new, with full compliance to SBs and ADs, and no known damage history. The helicopter has been Part 135 maintained, making it suitable for tour, utility, or private use. Notable additions include an auto-relight kit, dual USB ports, and a repelling plate.
