Just a few weeks before, this helicopter had been delivered to the Dominican Republic and is yet devoid of any national markings. It was delivered as FAD-3053, but as not to duplicate serials of operational helicopters, FAD-3053 had been allocated to a Bell 206A-1, it was reregistered to FAD-3065. Unfortunately, these camouflage colours were also shortlived, and the helicopter was seen in dull grey since.
