Question for all Ppruners as I have little Bell experience
There are many current cheap options to buy older 206's B3's (more expensive), B2's and B's...which brings them into the price range for purchase of private owners of new R44 RII's.
I would imagine running costs are massively different, but JR's appear to depreciate less (with the dreaded 12 year rebuild on R44 II's)
So my question is - as a private flyer would you buy a circa 1970's / 80's Jetranger or Robbie RII? Is there any major reason for buying a B3 over a B2 / B (other than power)?
Any help, sarcasm and wit most welcome!
