History

Our helicopter has an intriguing history. Originally owned by David Beckham and later acquired by Sri Lanka Air, it boasts a rich heritage.

Acquired in 2021, it has primarily served as a training aircraft, facilitating the development of aspiring pilots. Currently housed in a secure hangar at KISM Florida, it awaits its next adventure.
