The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) has taken delivery of the first EC 130 B4 delivered into the Candian market.

Barry O’Brien, General Manager, Aviation Services for the OMNR said “We needed a helicopter for forest fire initial attack, and the EC 130 meets our specialized criteria. The large cabin also provides remarkable visibility and is especially quiet with the shrouded tail rotor. These are very important features in our line of work”.
