Description
Possibly the best-value JetRanger on the market today, both in condition and specification.
This helicopter is in exceptional condition and has been meticulously cared for—quite possibly better than my wife.
It has been maintained to the highest standard, wants for nothing, and benefits from outstanding remaining component times throughout.

In 2000, the aircraft underwent a total rebuild, including:
Bare-metal respray
New windows
New interior plastics
Leather interior and carpets
Mechanically, all components were inspected and either refurbished or replaced as required.
In 2014, the helicopter received another comprehensive “top-to-toe” refurbishment, fully documented with an extensive folder of records. At that time, the turbine and compressor were replaced. More recently, it has received a new main rotor head and TT straps.
