Description
A Bell 206B JetRanger III outfitted for cropdusting sprays a field in Templeton, California. This helicopter was manufactured in 1976 and is operated by Sinton Helicopters in Paso Robles.
An interesting fact about this particular helicopter, N16726 was involved in an accident while filming a car commercial at the Coyote Dry Lake near Barstow in 1996. Although there were no injuries in the incident, the helicopter suffered substantial damage when it impacted with the ground.
The Bell 206 was introduced in 1966 and has remained basically unchanged since. The 206B, which started shipping in 1971, was built on the same airframe with the primary differences being a more powerful engine and an updated cockpit control layout. The JetRanger is an extremely versatile aircraft and has become the most successful commercial helicopter ever produced, selling over 7,000 units so far. They are commonly seen used by police, news media, and countless private corporations.
