Can Restore Damaged Helicopters To "Like New" Condition
Vector Aerospace Helicopter
Services North America, an independent provider of helicopter
maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), now offers Bell
Helicopter-certified airframe repair capability for the OH-58
(Kiowa) A and C models, via its new maintenance fixture located at
the company's Andalusia, Alabama helicopter repair and overhaul
operation.
Ronnie Kearns, Vector's director of business development for
military programs says the newly acquired maintenance fixture now
enables Vector to carry out comprehensive structural repairs on the
OH-58 airframe; in effect restoring helicopters that might
otherwise be deemed non flight-worthy to a "like-new"
condition. Kearns emphasizes that with the new Bell-certified
fixture, Vector is fully-capable of performing airframe repairs on
OH-58 helicopter fleets throughout the world, including the United
States (US) Military, law enforcement, government and security
agencies, up to and including NATO countries operating OH-58
helicopters as part of the Foreign Military Sales (FMS)
program.

"This latest addition to Vector's diverse mix of helicopter and
fixed-wing maintenance, repair and overhaul capabilities is part of
the company's overall strategic plan to increase its domestic
international MRO presence, particularly in support of military
programs in the United States," says Kearns. Vector currently
provides repair and overhaul services for a variety of US and
foreign militaries, and its Alabama operation performs heavy
maintenance and inspections, including airframe repair and dynamic
components, in support of the US Navy's TH-57 pilot training fleet
based at Naval Air Station-Whiting Field, Florida.
