First BK117 in North America was s/n 7002....i helped unload it off the flatbed at MBB in PA back in 1982. Several more s/n BK's arrived over next few months...but could not be sold because the BK was still not Type Certified by FAA until a yr later. Eventually 7002 was sold to Evergreen...who leased it back to MHC to use as a demonstrator. US Jet took delivery of 7003...first EMS BK in US. S/n if 7002 is still operating in Canada...it is undoubtely the oldest BK flying in NA, and possibly worldwide. Oldest flying BK in US....is s/n 7012, which is still operated by DOE in S.C. US Jet and Omniflight got most of the early (A-1) BK's....RMH a few yrs later. s/n 7036 i believe was a RMH ship originally delivered to Detroit Med Ctr. |
