You forgot the twin ranger. The 407 is on the type certificate.

Also 206 B2 and B3. B2 had the enhanced C-20R I believe. Larger compressor but tended to cause accelerated wear on 1st stage turbine blades.

Jetrangee II and III are marketing terms. II has a C20 engine, and III has a C20B engine.  Both are 206B’s...

What about the straight 206L  C-20 engine with water or alcohol injection.  Been many years since I flew one, but I remember the kick in the pants when you pulled the trigger!

PHI ran a 50 50 mix of alcohol-water. Agree on the kick!
