Schweizer Aircraft Corp. recently delivered a new 300C to Flycom of the Republic of Slovenia. Jaroslav Najman of L.D. Aviation Prague, Schweizer's distributor located in the Czech Republic, sold the aircraft to Flycom. The helicopter, the first Schweizer 300C to be delivered to Slovenia, will be used for light utility work and flight training.

Flycom is a multifaceted commercial helicopter operation that provides a wide variety of helicopter services including power line inspections, pipeline inspections, aerial photography, aerial filming, fire mapping, infrared inspections of buildings, telecommunications, assistance with criminal apprehension and VIP transport. Their new 300C is already committed to a five-year aerial photography contract.

When asked for comments on their new 300C, Flycom president Roman Bernard stated, "The impressive performance of the 300C is ideal for flight training in the mountainous environment of Slovenia. The cabin size and useful load will enable us to train individuals who would otherwise not be able to train in other manufacturers' helicopters and will allow us to perform light utility work for less money than with a turbine helicopter. We are proud to be the premier operator of the Schweizer 300C in Slovenia."

"We are very excited to see Schweizer helicopters being sold into the Republic of Slovenia helicopter market," said Paul Schweizer, President "and we are sure that Flycom will be extremely pleased with their new 300C. It is the ideal light helicopter for performing their required missions in the mountain environment of Slovenia."

In addition to the Model 300C, 300CBi and 333 helicopters, Schweizer Aircraft Corp. manufactures the Fire Scout unmanned helicopter, the SA 2-37B and RU-38B surveillance airplanes, and a wide range of major airframe components under subcontract to the U.S. aerospace industry. Schweizer sells and supports its aircraft through a worldwide network of sales and service centers.
