This Airbus AS 350B3+ was built by American Eurocopter Corp. at its factory at Golden Triangle Regional Airport (KGTR) in Columbus, Mississippi and test flown as N190AE before delivery to the Department of Homeland Security in 2012 and was assigned to the US Customs and Border Protection base at Bellingham International Airport, just south of the US-Canada border.

The Department of Homeland Security operates a large fleet of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, including a number allocated to patrolling the northern US border with Canada. The Bellingham Airport base is the northwest most DHS aircraft base in the continental US and flies Airbus H125s (AS350B3+), Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawks and fixed-wing patrol aircraft. Crews have apprehended drug smugglers, illegal immigrants and others. This AS350B3+ was delivered in 2009 and is equipped with stabilized camera and searchlight. US Customs and Border Protection titles and US Department of Homeland Security badge on the tail.

Officially registered as a Beaver Mk.3, but that's not correct. This is a regular Beaver (ex U-6A 56-0423), which was converted into a turbine Beaver by Volpar in the late 1990s. It differs in several ways from a true Mk.3 turbine Beaver, which are factory-built by De Havilland Canada.

Wonderful scheme on this warbird Beaver, but unfortunately they are fake. This aircraft in fact started its long career as U.S. Army L-20A (later U-6A) 56-0412. That doesn't change the fact though that this is one smart-looking aircraft! It's been owned and flown by Apogee Flight since 1995.
