This Bell Bell 206B JetRanger, 4X-BJF on fixed floats owned by Chimavir was painted in water-soluble paint (with markings "XB-3274" on the cabin and "HCX" on the tail) to appear in a motion picture being filmed in Israel in July 1978. These markings were washed off about an hour after this image was taken and re-photographed. Built in 1975, this JetRanger was active in Israel for about 26 years. It was operating from Megiddo Airport on March 29, 2001 when hit high voltage power line near the village of Wadi Hamam while dropping baits with a vaccine against rabies. It crashed and burned.
