Enstrom Helicopters to Return Under New Ownership

Assets, Facilities, Products, and Designs Acquired by MidTex Aviation for Resurrection as Enstrom Aerospace

The recently defunct Enstrom Helicopter Corporation may soon rise from the dead, following the purchase of its remains by MidTex Aviation. Enstrom declared bankruptcy in January citing severe financial difficulties, allowing its assets to be sold off by a Michigan court. MidTex was able to purchase nearly everything from the company, including pre-owned aircraft, tooling, materials, drawings, intellectual property, and factory equipment. MidTex says they will reopen the factory for operation through a new subsidiary entity named Enstrom Aerospace, retaining the original, 64-year old brand name.
