My name is N108JS. I am from Sweitzer in Ft. Worth, TX. I was built in 1994. I began my career as a crop duster for a wealthy Mexican National in Mexico. He didn't like my work and sold me after 21 hours total time. I then become a ranch helicopter for the Ramsey Ranch in Pearsall, TX. I flew tours of the ranch, did animal surveys, a lot of feral hog hunting. I was able to stay at a very nice hanger at the ranch. I have been well maintained by Helicopter Specialists of San Antonio, TX.
