This is one of two S-28Ts owned by Heli-Flite Inc, doing business as ARIS Helicopters. Originally an H-34A Choctaw delivered to the French Air Force circa 1958. Registered N1168U after Air Force service, the helicopter was damaged on April 14, 1989. Taxiing with a load of cargo, the right landing gear failed due to cracks and corrosion passing over a drainage depression. The helicopter rolled on it's side. It was rebuilt circa 2002 and converted to turbine power. The aircraft is current with ARIS at the time of uploading.
