After an extended
period 'under the gun,' MD Helicopters seems to be working hard to
get back to business as usual -- selling helicopters. Their most
recent sales include one of Southern California's major law
enforcement agencies, a major Turkish industrial company and two
individuals -- one in the Czech Republic and one in Oregon.
The Huntington Beach Police Department, located in one of
Southern California's most densely populated areas, has renewed its
confidence in MD 520N(R) helicopters, ordering its fourth of the
series.
The department, with one of the longest-running airborne law
enforcement programs in the country, has operated MD 500 series
helicopters for most of its 33 years in operation. The new MD 520N
replaces a similar model that has accumulated more than 13,000
flight hours. Cumulatively, the department has flown more than
100,000 hours over its history, just over 22,000 hours in
NOTAR(R)-equipped aircraft.
The Dortek Company, a leading Turkish industrial and commercial
door manufacturer, has ordered an MD 600N(R) helicopter for its
operations in Istanbul.
The company will use its aircraft for transporting personnel to
various sites in and around Istanbul. MD Helicopter is represented
in Turkey by Delta Trade and Consultancy of Ankara.
Two individuals, Patrik Snajdr of Klatvoy, CZ, and Paul Davis,
of Corvallis, Ore., each ordered MD 520N aircraft. It is the first
MD product for Snajdr but is the second for Davis, who previously
operated an MD 500D. Both the MD 520N and the MD 600N feature the
NOTAR system.
