The Alouette III is a "Special" ship to me because they were used by the very first, Hospital Based Air Ambulance Company in the United States right here in Denver. Their High Altitude capability and durability kept them around for quite awhile. Their distinct sound and Bumble-Bee like flight characteristics are sorely missed by me. I later got to work around a different one with a local Heli-Lift company, and another one used for Heli-Ski work in the Rockies, but that was a long.... time ago!! I really wonder just how many are actually in the States anymore. They were sure used and abused!!

I will take that one on, theres a few different schemes if i google it

which rego are we looking at
 
The one pictured is N608RM - Built in 1964 as S/N 1166. There was its "Sister" ship N607RM S/N 1167 operated there too for a while. They were sequential Serial Numbers, and were bought by Rocky Mountain Helicopters and put into service with Flight For Life in the early 80's (If memory serves me) Rocky Mountain was a Provo based Helicopter operator.

Of interest, The Tiger Stripe Alouette in the Package is also related to this one. It too was owned by Rocky Mountain Helicopters and operated as an Air Ambulance in Salt Lake City, UT for Inter-Mountain Life
Flight. These Helicopters were selected for use in the Rocky Mountain West because they had good High-Altitude capabilities for the time and could really get the job done payload wise. Their Safety Record with these was perfect! Terrific Pilots and Maintenance kept them flying and the Safety-Cultures of the organizations kept them safe for all those years flying in some of the most challenging terrain in all the world. They built the programs they were affiliated with and paved the way for what is out there today. I believe both programs used them into the very early 1990's. Flight For Life transitioned to the AStar B2, and Intermountain to the Agusta 109. Both Programs suffered their first accidents shortly after the transitions to new equipment. Rocky Mountain Helicopters was later bought out by AirMethods, and they continue to this day.

Boy, That's like seeing an old friend again...
They flew with the Ski's on practically all the time. I'm sure you probably found some of the other photos to prove that. Will the model allow the ski's on without the winch?
 
The Details on N608RM are not complex. Let me Help....
The Rocky Mountain Helicopters Logo - Above it... it says "We Serve Because We Care,"

And then the "Flying Blood Clot" on the Intake Baffle/Cover...which I don't believe is modeled.
http://www.villagerpublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/FFL-CO-logo-No-Hosp-e1414758801867.jpg

Last but not least.... was the Alouette III logo on that bulge/cover in the center of the Nose. You have the Logo on the side of the one with 213 on the tail-boom. Some of the Ships had them, others didn't but it is in the Photo
