Besides the helicopter, we are also including the following in the package with the helicopter:

  • A 1998 air ride helicopter trailer with two built in tool boxes and steel hold down bridges that attach to the front and rear of the trailer for the main rotor blades during transport.  The sides fold down for "land on/land off" abilities when not trailering
  • A steel helicopter hydraulic lift dolly for Bell 47 Helicopters with two new batteries - will lift and move all Bell 47 models
  • Misc parts - Hundreds of Bell 47 helicopter parts (over $350,000+ in published retail value)

For the DOC (Direct Operating Cost), many operators use the following calculation:

 

$70,000 divided by 1200 hours on the low end: $58.34 / flight hour

$95,000 divided by 1200 hours on the high end: $79.16 / flight hour

   [If the operator is also an IA or AP it is going to be much less]

 

The helicopter uses: 100LL (low lead) and holds approximately 60 gallons

The aircraft and inventory are located in DeKalb Illinois 60115, for pre-buy inspection and flight

 

* Time sheets and inventory list are available upon request.  If you would like to see a picture of something that is not shown, please ask and it will be emailed to you. 

 

This aircraft has had a total of: 5 owners, since it was shipped new from Bell Helicopters on June 15, 1970

 

We are interested in selling the helicopter, trailer, lift dolly and parts as a "package"...but would consider separating them with the following break down:

  • Helicopter: $145,000.00
  • Hydraulic Lift Dolly: $6,000.00
  • 10lb Helicopter trailer with steel bridges for front and rear rotor blades and two built in tool boxes: $9,000.00
