"1988 Bell 206B-3 Jet Ranger III
Serial Number: 4019
Total Time: 1,800 TT
Price: 5,000
That is one beautiful looking helicopter. I’d pay that much for it. The interiors are beautiful and it looks very clean and airworthy. How did you actually manage to get certified flying one of those? Maybe one of your ground school buddies could tell you what a good price is for that baby"
hahaha, well, since i didnt put the serial number down, im guessing you found the page. (edit your answer to answer this)
o, by the way, to answer the other question, my dad is a retired Army 82nd Airborne Jumper, 2nd battalion Tank Commander, and 1st battalion Artillery Commander. he’s got some friends in high places that owe him favors, and flight lessons for small airplanes and personal helicopters was his gift to me for getting straight A’s for the past 3 years, getting Eagle Scout, getting my 2nd degree black belt, becoming my Rotc’s Master Chief, and becoming the 1st ever Junior Assistant Scoutmaster of my troop.
