Bell 206L LongRanger Helicopter under $500,000

← Bell 206 family

The Bell 206L LongRanger is the stretched, seven-seat version of the iconic 206 JetRanger — same Allison/Rolls-Royce 250 turboshaft, but 30 inches longer cabin and additional rear seats. Variants run through 206L (original), 206L-1, 206L-3 (most common) and 206L-4 (current production). The LongRanger is the practical single-engine turbine for utility, EMS, charter and corporate use — wider seating, more useful load, but the same well-supported powerplant as the JetRanger.
