# 154 / SE-JRC, Scandinavian Air Ambulance, returned to the European Service Center,
where it was being prepaired for its delivery to France. Apparently the Bell 429 was not a success in
the EMS role in Sweden, due to range and payload issues. It will be replaced by the Eurocopter 145T2.

# 154. The first Bell 429 Global Ranger in Sweden will be operated by Scandinavian Medicopter from Visby in Gotland.
The 429 was exported from Canada and shipped to Europe late December 2013. After re-assembly and completion with
a medical interior at the Bell Helicopter Service Center in Prague the 429 is due to be operational early April 2014.
