Fontana PD Air Support's Robinson R66 Turbine, covering Fontana plus Inland Empire mutual-aid calls. The R66 is unusual for a police air unit (most agencies fly AS350s or Bell 206/407s) — Fontana's choice reflects the R66's lower acquisition + fuel cost while still offering turbine reliability for the I-10 / I-15 / 210 freeway patrol corridor.
We have recorded Fontana PD Air Support over 17 neighborhoods in San Bernardino, Los Angeles and Riverside counties, 494 passes in all — most recently over La Verne on 8 October.
Counted from this site's own observations of the public ADS-B feed, not from a flight plan — a pass is a visit we watched, and the list is what we have seen, not everywhere this aircraft has been.
