Information

This aircraft was constructed back in 1979. It was purchased by the Sundsvall-based helicopter company Copterflyg M.L. AB in early-2004, and was registered SE-JML on 29 January 2004.

SE-JML was purchased from the "North American Racing Corporation" in Austin, Texas, USA. The aircraft, which was registered N1068C in the US, had earlier been used as a police helicopter. Some clear evidences of its police service were still visible. It is equipped with line-cutters and is capable of carrying two stretchers. The last two letters in the registration (ML) is the initial of the founder of Copterflyg AB - Mats Ling.

SE-JML came to be used for sightseeing tours, air-taxi and census operations with Copterflyg AB. It was partly based in Sundsvall and partly based in Småland Province. It was temporary used by Stockholms Helikoptertjänst AB for a short period in the spring of 2004.

The aircraft joined HeliAir Sweden's fleet in 2010. It came to be used for pretty much the same kind of operations as earlier, but with power line inspection as a new line of business.

SE-JML left HeliAir Sweden's fleet in the early winter 2014. It joined HeliNord Norden's fleet in February the same year.
