Description
Detailed Description Sellacopter is pleased to offer this exceptionally well-maintained Bell 206B III JetRanger, one of five ships available from a single professional training fleet. N107LH comes out of a reputable, professionally managed flight training operation where it was flown and maintained to a standard rarely seen in aircraft of this vintage. The aircraft was operated on a civilian contract training military pilots, and while its orange and white livery may resemble a US Army training variant, make no mistake: this is a standard civilian Bell 206B III JetRanger, N registered and USA based, with no military history or surplus pedigree to complicate ownership or registration. The maintenance story is where this aircraft truly stands apart. A fresh 12 month inspection, and fresh 100/300/600 hour inspections all completed August 2026 mean the next owner steps into a turnkey aircraft with nothing deferred and nothing hidden. The panel is equally impressive for a JetRanger. An Avidyne IFD440 GPS/NAV/COMM anchors a modern avionics suite that includes a Garmin GMA 345 audio panel with Bluetooth, GTR 225 second comm, GTX 330 transponder, and a radar altimeter with aural warning generator. Equipment highlights include Air Comm air conditioning, a rare and welcome upgrade in this airframe, along with an FDC inlet barrier filter, dual caliper rotor brake, engine re-ignition kit, and a five place charcoal gray leather interior with 4-point pilot/copilot harnesses and dual controls. Fleet Opportunity N107LH is one of five JetRangers available from this fleet. Aircraft may be purchased individually, in a group, or as the complete five ship package. Multi-aircraft purchases qualify for package pricing with an overall discount. Detailed specifications on the remaining four aircraft are available upon request. Trainers, tour operators, and utility operators looking to add proven, professionally maintained JetRangers should move quickly. Fleets like this rarely come to market.
