This image was shot in Sundsvall as pilot Per Frejvall was transporting this long-lived Swedish Hughes 500 from Arjeplog to its new owner in Linköping. The earlier owner, Fjällflygarna AB, recently replaced the Hughes 500 with a newly imported Bell 206 Jet Ranger III. The Jet Ranger was chosen due to its passenger comfort and spacious internal load capacity.
Fjällflygarna has operated Hughes 500s from the mid-80’s, but has now entirely left the helicopter type and focused on operations with a Colibri and the Jet Ranger.
The new owner, Malmskogens Helikopterleasing, will offer the helicopter leasing.
