The Story of This Bell 206L1
On a crisp May morning, just as the sun began to rise over the breathtaking mountains surrounding Nelson, a Bell 206 Long Ranger landed at our hangar. The team at Generation Global was ready for action, with a vision in mind and a plan in place.
For the past three weeks, our team had been working tirelessly, recovering and preparing all the parts for this helicopter’s interior. Every detail was meticulously planned and prepped, ensuring that once the helicopter arrived, we could jump straight into the installation process.
The seats were a standout feature of this project. We had recovered them in premium white leather, accentuated by grey piping that provided a striking contrast. A custom stitching pattern—never before used—was incorporated into the design, and the Bell logo was embossed into the backrest, giving each seat a distinctive, bold look. The seats were truly a work of art, and the team couldn't wait to see them installed.
Finally, the day came. The helicopter arrived, and the Generation Global team dove straight into the installation process. Thanks to an incredible team effort, and a total of just 29 hours of work, we were able to present the completed interior to the owner. The transformation was remarkable, and we were all thrilled with the finished product.
Less than two days after the helicopter landed in our hangar, the Bell 206 Long Ranger took off again, now with its stunning new interior. White has never looked better!
