A Bell 206, designated in Brazilian Navy service as IH-6B, is seen on the tiny deck of the Sao Paulo during operations in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Brazil. The HI-1 squadron designation means Primeiro Esquadrão de Helicópteros de Instrução, a helicopter instruction unit. The IH-6B on board of the Sao Paulo was used to instruct carrier operations, like plane guard, reconnaissance, Search and Rescue and flying a photographer around.
