Interesting facts about the Bell 204B
🚁 The Bell 204B is the civil derivative of the UH-1B Iroquois, known worldwide as the Huey, and it introduced many operators to turboshaft utility performance.
🚁 The 204B gained FAA type certification in the early 1960s and entered commercial service soon after, supporting utility, EMS, logging, firefighting, and charter work.
🚁 Licensed production expanded its global footprint, with Agusta in Italy and Fuji in Japan building variants for civil and government operators.
🚁 Typical cabin layouts carry a pilot plus up to ten passengers, or equivalent internal cargo, with quick-change seating for mixed missions.
🚁 A standard fuel capacity of about 242 US gallons supports multi-hour missions, with optional auxiliary tanks used by some operators for extended range.
🚁 External cargo hooks and long-line kits make the 204B a capable lifter, with typical sling loads around 4,000 lb depending on configuration and conditions.
🚁 The two-blade semi-rigid main rotor is 48 ft in diameter and is renowned for responsive handling that suits utility and training missions.
🚁 The 204B’s design led directly to the larger Bell 205 and later twin-engine developments, so many parts, procedures, and training concepts carry over across the family.

FAQs About the Bell 204B
How much does a Bell 204B cost?
As of Q4 2025, work-ready Bell 204B helicopters most often trade in the mid six figures to low seven figures in USD. Examples with recent engine overhauls, updated avionics, and specialized equipment can command higher prices, while airframes needing major component work sit lower in the range. Exact value depends on component times, calendar limits, STCs, and mission kit.
What missions suit the Bell 204B best?
The 204B excels at utility work. Operators use it for external lift, firefighting with buckets or tanks, forestry support, powerline work, patrol, EMS, and charter. Its quick-change interior, strong sling capability, and proven support network make it a flexible choice for multi-role fleets.
How many passengers can a Bell 204B carry?
Typical commercial layouts seat a pilot plus up to ten passengers, subject to weight and balance. Operators can remove seats to optimize for cargo, stretcher fit, or mixed passenger and freight missions.
What range and cruise speed should buyers expect?
A standard-tank 204B typically cruises near 110 knots and offers about 300 nautical miles of still-air range, depending on power settings, weight, and conditions. Auxiliary tanks or ferry kits extend endurance for specific missions.
What should I look for during a pre-buy inspection?
Review engine and component times, hot section history, rotor system life limits, transmission and mast condition, main and tail rotor blade status, airframe corrosion, wiring, avionics age, and STC documentation. Confirm recent maintenance, compliance with Airworthiness Directives, and availability of mission equipment like cargo hooks, long-line kits, bubble windows, and firefighting gear.
