This new Bell 429 was built at the Bell factory in Mirabel. Quebec and registered C-FKXR on June 16, 2015. It was retained by Bell at Mirabel and used to support flight test activities with "Sauvetage" (Rescue) titles applied to the side of the cabin. It was exported to the US in September 2016 as N158DB and flown to Bell's facility in Piney Flats, TN for completion as a law enforcement aircraft for the Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office in Florida. It was delivered to the Sheriffs Department in a green and white colour scheme in May 2017 and is based at KPBI.
