Our Aircraft
The Bell 206
JetRanger III.
One aircraft. Configured for VIP comfort, commercial precision, and the performance the Appalachians demand. Meet the helicopter behind every East Tennessee Helicopters mission.
Built for the Mission. Configured for You.
The Bell 206 JetRanger III is the most proven turbine helicopter in civilian aviation history — with over 7,000 units built and a safety record that speaks for itself. Our VIP-configured example brings that legendary reliability together with a refined interior, making it equally at home on an executive transfer or a scenic flight over the autumn ridgelines.

Performance by the Numbers
VIP Interior
Quiet. Comfortable. Configured for the Discerning Passenger.
Our Bell 206 is outfitted to VIP standard — not the utilitarian configuration you'd find on a tour operator's aircraft. The cabin is quiet, the seats are comfortable, and the classic JetRanger windows give every passenger a clear view of the landscape below. Whether you're crossing the region on business or taking in the autumn foliage, the experience is the same: exceptional.
Clear Cabin Windows
The JetRanger's signature side windows give every passenger a clear, unobstructed view of the terrain below.
VIP Seating
Comfortable, well-appointed seating for up to 4 passengers — not the bench seats of a utility aircraft.
Low Vibration
The JetRanger's turbine powerplant runs smooth and quiet — a world apart from piston-engine alternatives.
Heat & Air Conditioning
Full cabin heat and air conditioning keep every passenger comfortable year-round, from summer valley flights to winter mountain crossings.
