KOMO TV Channel 4 Seattle "Air4" Bell JetRanger

File Description:
KOMO TV 4, the ABC affiliate in Seattle, Washington and consistently known as the best television station in America for 21 years running - and best newscast in America for 20 years in a row, operated this Bell JetRanger known as "Air4." The helicopter was an early Bell 206BIII, and bore the same rainbow-like paint scheme for nearly two decades. This paint scheme was also used on several of their ENG satellite news trucks - each one with the name "Newstar4." Unfortunately, this helicopter was retired in December of 1997 and replaced with a brand-new Bell 407 bearing an all-new black and blue metallic paint scheme featuring a gold "4" and green pinstripes. Air4 is piloted by veteran KOMO pilot Roger Fox, and this version of Air4 had no chin camera apparatus (there was always a photographer and reporter aboard incase of breaking news)It is not known where this helicopter is, nor what her N-Number was at the time. Requires Owen Hewitt's Bell JetRanger.

KOIN TV Chopper Six 1980 Version.

File Description:
This repaint depicts the scheme that Portland, OR, television station KOIN TV used on their helicopter back in 1980. It is based off of several photographs of the real helicopter found in a book about Mount St. Helens which was written by the KOIN TV "Newsroom 6 -(which was what KOIN called their newscasts at the time)" staff. The book is titled "Mt. St. Helens: The Volcano Explodes" and was published by KOIN TV shortly after its devastating May 18, 1980 eruption. This repaint requires Owen Hewitt's Bell 206B JetRanger III and best fits the base model, as chin cameras did not exist at the time this paint scheme was used.

KIRO TV 7 Seattle "Chopper 7" Bell JetRanger

File Description:
KIRO Television Channel 7 in Seattle, Washington, the CBS affiliate and sister station of KOIN Television in Portland, Oregon, operates this Bell JetRanger that has had one of the longest-running news helicopter names in the Northwest. Chopper 7 does more than gather video for KIRO7 Eyewitness News. It also serves as a traffic report helicopter for Seattle's KIRO Newsradio 710 and KIRO7 Eyewitness News This Morning. This paint scheme depicts Chopper7 as she appeared ca. 1992-1993, when KIRO rolled out a totally new station ID and logo. Not much has changed, except for a slight change to the "circle-7" logo and the typeface KIRO TV now uses for their Station ID. Prior to the revamped logo, KIRO's logo was the CBS "Eye" right next to a "7" in a serif typeface that, when together, formed an "07". The N-Number of "Chopper7" is not known at this time. Requires Owen Hewitt's Bell JetRanger.

KATU Channel 2 Portland, Oregon "JetRangerII"

File Description:
KATU Television in Portland, Oregon, an ABC affiliate and sister to KOMO TV in Seattle, Washington, operates this JetRanger appropriately named "JetRanger2." This helicopter, and an identical sister ship called "JetRanger1" operated under the tagline "The Power of Two" and both helicopters consistently outdid competitors KOIN and KGW in the aerial ENG helicopter coverage race. However, the duo of identical helicopters came to an end in December of 1997. While working for a Christmas Tree harvesting operation, the helicopter known as "JetRanger1" went out of control while slinging a load and crashed to the ground. Fortunately, the pilot was able to survive the wreck, although the helicopter was a total loss. JetRanger1 and JetRanger2 were leased to KATU by Hillsboro Aviation.
