Several steps to add to the support structure for MU-2 operators were announced at NBAA 2002 by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries America’s aircraft products support division. These include appointment of Aero Air of Hillsboro, Ore., as an authorized Mitsubishi MU-2 service center, and Turbine Aircraft Components (TAC) of Addison, Texas, as exclusive distributor for a number of aircraft overhaul components. MHIA representatives also discussed a program to develop a new cockpit shoulder harness for MU-2 designs and the status of the MHIA-supported PROP (Pilot’s Review of Proficiency) program.
The agreement with Aero Air brings to six the total of authorized MU-2 service centers in North America. The company is a full-service FBO, charter, maintenance and aircraft management company offering 24-hr service. It will provide full MU-2 airframe, engine and avionics services. Meleta Hanson, knowledgeable about MU-2 components, formerly with Epps Air Service, will handle parts sales for Aero Air.
