480B FOR ESTONIA
Enstrom has delivered a 480B helicopter to the Estonian government, the first sale to the region for the US airframer. The turbine-powered aircraft will be used for environmental protection work including forestry and fishery.
COX EXPLORER
US emergency medical services provider Cox Air Care has ordered an MD 902 Explorer helicopter to replace its Eurocopter BO105.
