Replacing LongRanger specs with JetRanger specs

There was a three-view of the JetRanger, but specs of the LongRanger. The LongRanger is really a specific off-shoot of the 206, while the JetRanger is the 206 itself. Additionally, the LongRanger specs were factually incorrect and seemed to be a mix of both versions (for instance, it gave the seat count and fuselage length of the JetRanger) so I replaced it with the accurate specs of the 206A JetRanger. I CTRL C+V'd the source of the LongRanger's specs below in case anyone thinks both should be present or something like that, but in that case, someone should go in and correct/verify all of the facts because at least two are wrong: WaltSevenThree (talk) 21:49, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the source text for the specs template as it only clutters the discussion. The old template content can still be found in the page history. I agree that the 206L-4 is not the best variant to represent the type. However, searching for the Bell 206 on the FAA make/model search engine shows that the 206B is far more common than the 206A, and therefore is probably the best variant to cover in the specifications section. - ZLEA _T\^C 23:05, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
