Information

The aircraft was decommissioned in ~2002 due to cracks in the floor, and was stored at the AF1 Helicopter Base in Boden.
The aircraft was blown up during the recording of the Swedish action movie \"Hotet\" (The Threat). The film crew purchased the airframe (which had been stripped from its essentials) for a cheap price, painted it as Z-78 (the actual Jet Ranger that is flying in the movie) and rigged it with explosives.
