Tilton Buys AW109 Production Line

.
'City Girl' entrepreneur buys helicopter production line


Jan Tilton poses in one of her new helicopters: "I want to transform the 109 interior into a sexy and alluring cabin that can be appreciated by corporate and private owners alike" said the CGH President.

Jan Tilton owner of the successful adult retail chain 'City Girl' has this week concluded a buy-out agreement with AgustaWestland for their 109 production line according to Jenny Cartwright, spokesperson for newly formed City Girl Holdings (CGH). "CGH have been in negotiations with AgustaWestland for the past 18 months and are pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached in which CGH shall be taking over production of the 109 series" said Cartwright during a brief statement at CGH's head office in New York last night.

Washington based aviation expert Al Baxter believes the move is likely to be part of a strategy involving Tilton's well know sister Lynn, founder of Patriarch Partners, whose investment portfolio already includes interests in aircraft production.

When contacted, AgustaWestland confirmed they had been in talks with CGH and that an announcement involving 'changes to AW109 production and marketing' was due Friday.

The lady pictured here is Donatella Versace, promoting the Versace interior in the Grand which AW do (like Hermes pimp the EC135 ride etc). Lots of pics on the web with this photo correctly labelled (eg this one taken in September 2007).

Roma, 1 Aprile 2011

My Dear Rotorheads

At the request of one of your members, I have agreed to respond on behalf of Finmeccanica (the owners of Agusta) regarding a report shown on your forum which mentioned the sale of Agusta's 109 helicopter production line. I am furthermore pleased to confirm that, despite what was written, production of the 109 is to remain with Agusta - at least for the foreseeable future.

Since one of your members made me aware of 'Prugna' I have tried to visit your site whenever I can. I have owned several helicopters (including the 109) and now have a 139 which I enjoy very much.

I was thinking that if you want to increase the visitors to your community you might try including more images of female helicopter crews, perhaps when they are washing the helicopters! I am involved in media and I know this kind of approach works.

I am thinking of reducing the age for the issue of student pilot's licences in Italy. I mean why should age stop someone from wanting to do something - especially if two people are in agreement (such as the student and instructor). We have all kinds of laws prohibiting people from doing things purely because of their age, and which I believe is wrong and discriminatory. Personally I believe that anyone above the age of 15 should be able to do whatever they please so long as they are doing it of their own free will. This is the liberty I wish for our people.

It only remains for me to wish all Prugne special 1st of April greetings.

Cordialmente


Silvio Berlusconi



ps: Savoia; I am attaching a photo of the trip I told you about when my security staff arranged a 'speical' in-flight entertainment surprise for me! I'll show you the rest of the photos when we next meet. S.

Savoia,

Funny stuff.

Il Cavaliere even got a shout-out on SNL over the weekend, during a skit on the forthcoming royal nuptials: "Mr. Berlusconi is asking whether his 'plus one' is good for two minors..."

Lol! Thanks IC.

Well, in the words of Kenny Everett in the persona of Cupid Stunt I would have to day that; "Its all done in the best possible taste!"
