Historical description and use of the BELL 206 JETRANGER

The Bell 206 JetRanger is an American light, multi-role helicopter designed in the late 1960s by Bell Helicopter Textron. It has been used by armies, police forces, rescue services, and in civilian versions all over the world—from the United States and Canada, through Europe, to Asia. Military variants of the JetRanger were widely used during the Cold War and subsequent conflicts as liaison, observation, and training helicopters. The JetRanger gained particular importance as the primary training helicopter for the US Army (TH-57 SeaRanger) as well as for other armed forces (including Italy, Germany, and Australia).
