Information
This helicopter was manufactured in 1987 by Aerospatiale in Marginane (Marseilles, France). It was operated in France under the registration
F-GPAT for several years before it was sold to Norrlandsflyg AB in Gällivare, Sweden, in 1994. Norrlandsflyg mainly used it used for aerial works and to transport people between destinations in the northen Swedish fjeld areas.
On 2nd February 2004 Piteå-based
Kallax Flyg AB purchased the helicopter. Norrlandsflyg had decided to focus on SAR and EMS operations, and sold the rest of the helicopters (including
SE-JFK).
Kallax Flyg will use the machine for pretty much the same kind of activities as it was used for earlier - tourist flights and aerial works. It was repainted to the red
Kallax Flyg livery in the winter of 2004-2005.
