Enstrom 480B On The Job With LA IMPACT

Helo Assists In Drug Bust Just After Delivery

Aero-News has learned during a ceremony at the Enstrom facility late last year, Lieutenant Robert Mulhall accepted a 480B Guardian on behalf of Los Angeles Interagency Metropolitan Police Apprehension Crime Task Force, or LA IMPACT. It didn't take long for the helicopter to prove its worth, either -- as shortly after delivery the helo assisted with the seizure of 20 pounds of methamphetamine, 20 pounds of cocaine and $1.7 million in cash.

"The 480B was selected by the task force for its safety record, low cost of operation, excellent visibility and a fuel capacity allowing 3.5 hours of on station mission time," said Air Operations Section OIC, Lieutenant Robert Mulhall. "LA IMPACT is ecstatic with the performance of its Air Support Section."

"The Pasadena Police has been a valued customer of Enstrom for over 32 years when they purchased their first two piston helicopter back in the 1970's" said Tracy Biegler, Director of Sales and Marketing. "I am very proud that Pasadena recommended Enstrom and the 480B to support the large mission requirement that LA Impact is responsible for, and I'm confident that our relationship will continue for many years to come."

LA IMPACT's missions address a myriad of law enforcement challenges including organized crime, drug enforcement, and homeland security. LA IMPACT is committed to serve the people of the Los Angeles area and seeks to anticipate and address critical law enforcement needs in Southern California as they emerge.

Founded in 1959, Enstrom Helicopter Corporation manufactures a complete line of helicopters including the three-place, piston-powered F28F and 280FX, and the turbine-powered 480B. The 480B also is available as a three-place advanced trainer or as a three- to five-place VIP aircraft.
