67november Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Here's what the FAA has on it http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NN...p;cmndfind.y=16 Quote
helicopterjim Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 It was in Canada before Ventura bought it. It had crashed and Ventura was going to rebuild it but the project got too big so it was sold again and is now back in Canada with another attempt at rebuilding it. It will be a big project. Quote

Just a guess, but it could be at Helitech Support Services in Abottsford, they have done a bunch of work on those Ventura aircraft. I should check with my buddy that works there, I will get back to you guys if I find out anything... Quote

Bell214 Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Posted September 11, 2006 Thank you very much for your help Jim. Do you know this machine here? I can´t get the serial number of N214X. Bell Helicopter used this machine in 1975 in Europe for a demonstration tour. The Pilot was Mr. Bayli. Here is the picture. Quote
gas producer Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 Bell214, This is a Bell 214A. Couple of tips are the lack of emergency exits in the sliding doors, and the pitot tube on the roof. Bell did not produce any 214B's until 1976. This could be the 214A Transwest got their hands on and are converting to a B? Quote
