Enstrom Celebrates Delivery of the First Model 480B-G
On October 6, Enstrom Helicopter Corporation celebrated delivery of the fi rst model 480B-G to Rick Boswell of New Hampshire. The 480B-G is equipped with the Garmin G1000H glass cockpit. “I’m a tech junkie,” says Boswell. “When I heard about the
Garmin G1000H, I had to have it. Partner it with the Enstrom 480B, and it’s my perfect helicopter.” Certifi cation of the 480B-G was completed in July 2014, making the 480B-G the only helicopter in its class off ering this sophisticated electronic equipment. “I learned to fl y helicopters in an Enstrom,” says Boswell.
“On my fi rst day of training, I knew this was the right aircraft for me.” Boswell was instrumental in upgrading the avionics in his previous 480B as well. Roger Sharkey of Sharkey’s Helicopters served as Mr. Boswell’s
instructor. “The 480B has always been a phenomenal ship, rugged and reliable,” says Sharkey. “They have taken the unbeatable reliability of an Enstrom helicopter and paired it with the best avionics suite available today, bar none. This is the future.”
The entire Enstrom team welcomed Boswell and Sharkey at
its manufacturing facility in Menominee, MI. “The fi ne team at Enstrom worked hard to make the 480B-G a reality, and we are excited that you are the fi rst customer for this unparalleled aircraft,” said Tracy Biegler, Enstrom’s president and CEO.
