Enstrom Helicopter Corporation recently changed hands between an unnamed Swiss investor and the Chongqing Helicopter Investment Co, of China

Good God! Is nothing sacred!

All a bit intriguing ... I was in China a little while back and it isn't generally known that the largest city in the world by population is now .......... Chongqing. Chong what? Forget New York, London or Shanghai. I remember thinking at the time that this is a place that the whole world will be hearing a lot about quite soon. Now my beloved Enstrom has gone east!

As long as it doesnt move there, if it does quality down the toilet

As long as it doesnt move there,

Probably not straight away.

They'll most likely get Michigan to grant authorisation for the Enstrom to be built under licence in Chongqing to start with and then move it over bit by bit.

Wonder what the Japan Ground Self Defense Force thinks of this development. :E

I reckon they think the Enstroms would make excellent target practice.
