Helicopters
Ex-Military helicopters have been pivotal in training Australian Defence Force (ADF) servicemen, providing reconnaissance and battlefield firepower, and supporting global peace and rescue missions.
Australian Frontline Machinery has auctioned and provided tender support for Bell ‘Kiowa’ 206B-1 Helicopters and the iconic Sikorsky S-70A-9 Black Hawk Helicopters (modelled off the UH-60).
These versatile helicopters find new life in commercial roles with Wholesalers, VIP charter operators, and leasing agents/distributors who seek these incredible Multi-Role Helicopters for search & rescue to aerial surveys, proving their exceptional capabilities well beyond the big screen, where they have been featured in movies such as Mission Impossible, Transformers, GI Joe and Delta Force.
