Photo Comment

This 1973 Bell 205 (civil equivalent of the UH-1H Iroquois) has had a varied career. It was originally N83222, then PK-UHQ, VH-PMN (from 22 December 1977), VH-PTS, HC-BHE, C-FMHA and finally VH-NNN(2). You can see from the 1,400 litre belly tank that it is used for bushfire-fighting work, callsign 'Helitak 335'.
