God darn I will have to check one of my 500's it carries with its Chadwick add tank just over 100 gallons of fuel with a burn of 25 gallons an hour at around 125 kts so that is a bit more than 3.5 hours ! |
Enstrom finds new owner

Press conference from the new owner.

Not quite!
https://verticalmag.com/press-releas...ble-ownership/ Matt Francour, president & CEO of Enstrom, said, “Earlier this year, it looked as if MidTex Aviation would step in and buy Enstrom, but when they had unexpected problems securing the funding, Chuck was able to step in and save the company, which ended a lot of sleepless nights here for us in Michigan!” |

Change of plans: Surack Buys Enstrom Helicopter | Business Aviation News: Aviation International News (ainonline.com)
"Indiana-based Surack Enterprises announced on Friday that it acquired Enstrom Helicopter, which filed for Chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy and shuttered operations in January. Menominee, Michigan-based Enstrom was in near-continuous operation for 64 years, manufacturing more than 1,300 light turbine and piston-powered helicopters for police, military, commercial, and private missions. A previously-announced deal to sell the company’s assets to Midlothian, Texas-based MidTex Aviation in March collapsed. " |
