The Volusia County (Florida) Sheriff’s aviation unit, Air One, has signed a purchase agreement with Bell for two 407GXi helicopters. The new aircraft will mark the fourth and fifth Bell 407s to serve in the sheriff’s fleet. Operated out of DeLand Municipal Airport near Orlando, Air One operates 24/7/365 to support the sheriff’s office’s aerial operations, including law enforcement, search and rescue, fire suppression and monitoring, and special missions such as SWAT team fast-rope insertions.
