Enstrom Helicopter Order

Enstrom Helicopter Corp announced a new Enstrom 480 sale from a UK customer at the Heli Expo '99. Enstrom says Paul Bundy, CEO of Metafin Group Holdings, after seeing the new 480 on display at the show decided to trade in his current 480 for a new one. The new aircraft will be Bundy's third Enstrom buy. Three years ago he acquired a piston-powered Enstrom 280FX.

Enstrom delivered a new Enstrom 280FX to a Pennsylvania-based customer. Steve Macanga took delivery of the new aircraft at the show. He currently operates an older 280FX.
