Written off (damaged beyond repair) February 4, 1991 when crashed at Katashina-mura, Gunma Prefecture, Japan. During a snow survey flight, the helicopter encountered heavy snow. The pilot elected to make a precautionary landing but the helicopter turned over on touchdown. No injuries sustained to the five person on board (pilot and four passengers)
However, despite being written off, it would appear to have later been repaired/rebuilt, as a Bell 206B Jet Ranger III was registered in the US on December 5, 1997 to P.J. Helicopters of Red Bluff, California as N67PJ; this helicopter has the c/no 3966 - the same as JA9498.
