Bell 206L-1 Long Ranger II
One of the most successful helicopters ever built, the Bell Jet Ranger
is a reliable, versatile and safe aircraft that can be quickly
reconfigured to meet your needs.
The design of this helicopter was based on the need for an
executive-class intermediate helicopter, featuring ample space for
passengers, and a floating transmission mount for a very smooth ride.
However, with the increased power over the Jet Ranger, this helicopter
is also popular for slinging loads, from buckets of water to various
types of cargo, including the occasional polar bear. Our Long
Ranger is also equipped with a stretcher door and stretcher racks for an
air ambulance role if required. Our external flat-bottomed cargo
basket is handy for transporting items (up to 200 lbs.) which are not
suitable for transport in the cabin or would not normally fit in the
rear cargo compartment.
Seating Up To 7 - 1 crew/6
passengers required or 2 crew/5 passengers.
Speed - 112KTS (129mph).
Range - 300NM (sea level);
approximately 2.8 hours endurance.
