SE-JAN

Information

This helicopter was imported to Sweden in September of 1990 and entered service with the newly established Kiruna based company Jannair at once. It was operated together with a second Ecureuil (SE-HUS) and was mainly used for tourism and aerial works throughout large parts of northern Sweden.

The aircraft was lost in a fatal accident on February 10 1992 as it was conducting some aerial filming at low level in the area near Kebnekaise. The pilot lost his references due to whiteout, and collided with a snowy hill. The pilot and one passenger lost their lives.

The company later went bankrupted and sold the sister ship, SE-HUS, to Monaco.
