N6TR

This airframe, registered as N6TR, is a 1980-built example of the Bell 206B-3 JetRanger III bearing serial number 3179. The airframe is listed on the US registry and is noted as a US-registered rotorcraft; no notable registry actions or ownership transfers are published. Operator and home base details are not published in the provided data. The airframe’s assessed market value is $633,000, reflecting its vintage and configuration as a single‑engine, five‑place helicopter.

The cabin is configured for 1 pilot + 4 passengers (5-place), consistent with the JetRanger III’s standard layout. Detailed avionics fit and interior finish for this specific ship are not published, so equipment and amenity specifics are unavailable. With a cruise speed of 115 kts and a range of 374 nm, this airframe is operationally suited to short regional hops, corporate or private transport, and light utility work from a US base. Maintenance considerations follow single‑engine turbine practice for the Allison 250 series, and given the airframe’s 1980 build year, aging‑aircraft inspection and component time‑limits would be relevant for operators maintaining airworthiness.

The Bell 206B-3 JetRanger III occupies a longstanding performance niche as a light, single‑engine turbine helicopter with modest cruise speed and useful cabin capacity for up to five occupants. In the used market, examples of this family are often compared with similar light turboshaft types where buyers weigh acquisition cost against maintenance, parts availability, and mission fit. For this particular airframe—serial 3179, US-registered N6TR, valued at $633,000—resale and operational economics will be influenced by record completeness, engine Time Between Overhaul status, and any undocumented modification history.
