I know MDH parts can be hard to get, but has anyone tried to buy a Clutch assembly from Robinson for a R44 at the moment !!

Who'd have predicted this one.... Lynn Tilton gets her own TV show

Will it be more like Dallas or new york housewives?
 

Will this be just like watching Dallas?
Here she is doing it LT style :cool:

I wonder if you'll see Joep and Henk at the her mansion parties?

Leather Loving PE Vixen Lynn Tilton Is Starring In Her Own Reality Show

A few comments about her at the bottom of the page I noticed!

And this is where she sacked her previous Patriarch president for appearing on another new york housewives tv show!

“Housewives” Firing: When Is It OK to Terminate an Employee for Off-duty Behavior? | Welcome to the Manpower Employment Blawg

A classic "dont do as I do, do as I say" :E

Lynx

Am I missing the point or what us your last post to do with md HELICOPTERS ?

Havent you heard Hughes, Ms Tilton is MD helicopters, and it wouldnt be around without her wisdom or MONEY. She will tell you the same if you ask her, and MD is bound to get a mention or a flyby if you care to watch or tape it .

I rest my case Ur Honour................................

lxny Still the same question though, we all know Tilton, she personally helped me when there were no drive shafts, e mailed her had one next week having been told 6 to 9 months ( a few years ago now)

4pm on Sunday is one of the likely few highlights of the upcoming Heli-Expo in Orlando.

The MD press conference hits room 220 at the convention center but the problem is that there will undoubtedly be a full room but not a case of what's new - more what will she wear?

Heli Expo news on MD
 

Pan, I hear your already over there in the sunshine planning which party to attend, you lucky chap.

I wish I could be there this time around, just to see the latest outfit her highness Ms Tilton will no doubt be wearing, but my xmas caribbean hol put paid to that jolly.

Re Ms Tilton latest outfit; Will it be an MD hat with a notar hanging off the front or back of it Lady Gaga style I wonder? Now there's a thought to go with that pearl necklace.

Keep us poor mortals over here in the drizzle this side of the pond updated with the interesting news and pics please. :)

I think the lady reads Pprune.

The MD press conference today was presented by a calm measured and sensibly dressed lady of a certain age.

She - it seems - is convinced MD has turned the corner. She believes she has the [Saudi Arabian] Boeing Little Bird fuselage construction contract in the bag.

She is also convinced that she has a 50 aircraft order for 902s for HEMS work in the Middle East using a new local trustworthy contact.

Nothing substantial signed sealed and delivered but clearly Boeing let her say the Little Bird bit [and where else would the fuselages come from].

And just in case we were led to believe she is a totally reformed character she went off into a rant about the US Government buying US equipment [from her] tore Elfan off a strip for demurring but failed to take on board that her fuselages come from Mexico and Turkey, gear boxes from Japan......

Oh what the heck she seems happy.

And it may last!;)

Thank God not sure I was up for any more pix. Lets hope the company survives, as they do produce some good products, yes some are dated but nearly 50 years later they still outfly more modern competition

Well said that man :D

If the sand pit boys do buy more 500's for the Little bird line she may keep it going and help people stay in work in the many various countries.

I've got a few friends down here in the sunny south of the UK who depend on the MD line and a lot of people have been worried that she might do a moonlight flit after not getting the US contracts.

If she does stay the course, I take my hat off to her.
Its the joep character I dont trust especially after watching the major problems in the past, but we'll see where it all goes with LT/Joep partnership in the future.

All the questions posed on this thread now answer?
 

PAN
So I am assuming you took the opportunity to apply your supper journalistic talent and quiz Ms Tilton on the stand....or where you more afraid of the wrath of LT......:suspect:

No not a peep from me and I still breath! Elfan took the wrath for daring to throw a serious question [which I think she misunderstood his real intent] and most of the rest of the crowded room cowered in their seats!

As far as what was said by LT - it was all pretty clear assuming it comes to pass. Most of us were just a little deflated when the buy American rant sort of spoiled the 'triumph' but hey, what is new?

Rant eh, thats just what you need to do if your trying to attract customers but heyho some things will never change. No wonder the top people keep walking out the door at MD.
Anyone got the video of the latest LT speech rant and all?

Some good news for MD from the USG....
