From the Czech Republic to the Island of Hawaii, helicopter operators continue to choose products from MD Helicopters, Inc. (MDHI) for a range of mission requirements.

Six helicopters have been sold and delivered to new and returning customers in recent weeks, including:

  • An operator in the Czech Republic has taken delivery of that country’s first-ever factory-built MD 520N for personal and corporate use. The aircraft is equipped with a PA system, CD player, and moving map system from a German manufacturer.
    MDHI distributor Eastern Atlantic Helicopters has ordered two MD 520Ns for customers in the U.K.
  • Police Aviation Services has ordered one MD Explorer for an unnamed police customer.
  • Jack Hutchings of Hutchings Automotive has ordered one MD Explorer for personal use in Florida.

  • Paradise Helicopters, of Kona, Hawaii, has ordered a new MD 530F to augment its existing fleet of MD 500Es. The new aircraft will be used for tours and utility work in high and hot conditions.

A fleet of MD helicopters flies a range of missions worldwide, including airborne law enforcement, emergency medical service, executive transport, utility, and more.

“Our customers have loved MD products from Day One,” said MDHI President Chuck Vehlow. “It’s gratifying when they come back for repeat purchases, and of course we’re always pleased to announce new sales and deliveries – especially six at a time.”
