Honduran Military Bell 412s Overhauled By Texas Company

Uniflight Refurbished Five Helos Back To Flying Condition

A company based in Grand Prairie, Texas, recently overhauled and refurbished five Bell 412 helicopters for the Honduran Air Force. Uniflight said Tuesday that the extensive project included a complete overhaul and inspection of the airframe, engines and all dynamic components as well as an avionics upgrade and modernization. Much of the work was performed in Honduras with components shipped to Uniflight's main facility in Grand Prairie, Texas.

"Uniflight continues to provide the finest helicopter maintenance, repair and overhaul capabilities anywhere in the world and this significant project is just one more example of our continuing growth, success, and market diversification," said Uniflight Chairman and CEO, Joseph Hawke. "These five aircraft have not been operational for several years but with our expertise, all five are back flying and in service."

Joseph Hawke and several of his team members from Uniflight attended a ceremony on October 28, 2010 in Tegucigalpa, Honduras commemorating the return of the helicopters to active duty. Also in attendance at the special ceremony was the Honduran President, Porfirio Lobo Sosa. Hawke presented a model of the Bell 412 to President Lobo as sincere thanks and recognition of the extensive project.

Uniflight says it is expanding its capabilities with the addition of both technical staff and equipment to meet the increasing demands for their specialized products and services. The company's facilities in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, Reading, Pennsylvania and Rome, New York include over  fifty professional and technical staff to support the broad range of services offered for airplanes and helicopters. The company says it will also soon be moving to a larger facility located at the Grand Prairie Texas airport (KGPM).
