Enstrom Helicopter, which saw 12 of its 20 deliveries last year go to customers outside the U.S., is seeing a continuation of the trend in 2009.

The Menominee, Mich.-based OEM (Booth No. 2319) recently delivered its first 480B destined for Bulgaria to Fortuna Air of Veliko Tarnovo. It will be employed primarily for agricultural spraying and is equipped with the first production 480B ag-spray kit from Isolair (Booth No. 1341). When not in use spraying crops, the helicopter will do duty as a commercial aircraft and in a search-and-rescue role, for which it is equipped with pop-out floats and a cargo hook for short-haul rescue.
