Bell Textron has completed the delivery of six 505 Jet Ranger X helicopters to the Jamaica Defence Force’s (JDF’s) Air Wing, which will use the fleet to support public safety and training operations.
Announcing the final delivery on May 11, the manufacturer also noted that this sixth JDF example was also the 300th Bell 505 to be delivered to a customer. Their arrival came remarkably quickly, as the order had only been announced by Bell on February 8, 2021.
Four of the new helicopters – comprising serials JDF H-46, JDF H-47, JDF H-48 and JDF H-49 – are painted in a largely white colour scheme with yellow trim. The remaining two – serials JDF H-50 and JDF H-51 – wear an overall dark green camouflage scheme.
