The turbine-engine five-seat Bell 206 "JetRanger" entered the civilian market in 1967. This popular helicopter looks great, sounds great and even today is one of the most popular choices for charter. It has since been updated three times, with the 206B "JetRanger II" arriving in 1971 and the 206B-3 "JetRanger III" in 1977.
The basic shape and design remain unchanged since 1967 and the JetRanger has probably featured in more movies than any other helicopter! The aircraft is also popular with news media for traffic and news reporting. The Bell 206 was the first helicopter to fly around the world and was piloted by Australian Businessman Dick Smith in 1983.
