Time is surely running out for Bell 206B-2 2306 (c/n 1902, ex 9V-BHU), the sole active JetRanger at the base. In the background is the cabin of Bell 205A-1 1731 (c/n 30302, ex N2774Y).
New helicopters are being introduced to the Royal Thai Police (RTP) Aviation Division based at Ram Inthra Police Airport in the Tha Raeng district of eastern Bangkok. The airfield offers a short concrete runway, hardstandings and three large hangars; two of the latter were recently renewed under the same modernisation programme.
