This 1971 Bell Helicopter model OH58A came to us from the Arizona National Guard by way of the Texas DPS 1033 surplus program. This is the military version of the famous Bell Jet Ranger model 206. This observation helicopter has been improved by adding modern aircraft navigation and communication radios and state of the art police tactical radios that are capable of talking to virtually any Department in the Gulf Coast Region.
