Bell TH-67A Creek flown with N-numbers only

The US Army Bell TH-67A Creek is an odd-ball. Essentially a converted 206, it was the successful contender for the UH-1 replacement. However, as the Army never intended these to be used other than for public use, none received military markings and not more than 183 were built.

Several were leased to the Colombian Army, and this unfortunate one, N911GE (5271) to the Marion County Sheriff Department. It was seriously damaged during a fire fighting operation on May 2nd, 2017, and is now up for sale as scrap.
