In 1978, this Bell 206B JetRanger, 4X-BJF on fixed floats was operated by Chimavir, an aerial application company owned by Kibbutz agricultural community movement in Israel. Built in 1975, this JetRanger was active in Israel for about 26 years. On March 29, 2001, Chim-Nir Aviation Services was operating 4X-BJF from Megiddo Airport on a contract to drop baits with a vaccine against rabies when it hit a high voltage power line near the village of Wadi Hamam, just west of the Sea of Galilee. Crashed and burned. Two killed. This photo is copyright © Kenneth I. Swartz, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
