yesdannysback Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 We are in the process of restoring both an HH52 and S62 back to flying conditions and are looking for someone who has experience with this aircraft. The aircraft N#s are N52NP and N1925N, one from Australia and the other from Alaska. we are almost finished with the HH52, just running into a few snags here and there. We arew hoping to have the HH52 up and flying by the end of the month (Feb 2015), but we all know how that goes. If anyone is interested and can help please feel free to drop me a line here in the forums or contact Aris Helicopters in Riverside, CA. N52NP has been completley repainted and looks really sharp!!! Engine and Rotorhead have been installed along with blades. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam32 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Did you buy them or restoring them for the owner? He was trying hard to sell all of them last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesdannysback Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Aris Helicopters now owns them. We have had a relationship with the previous owners for sometime and made the decision last year to restore them for our use. We had a successful initial run up yesterday. Getting closer to flying!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotay Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Looks amazing, I stopped in to see SB a few months back after you'd just got them and the work you've done since is spectacular. My old Chief has done some business with them in the past, I'll give him a call and see if he knows anyone who can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Rowles Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 N1925N was a VIP aircraft until only a few years ago. I have a couple hundred hours in that ship. We did several movies with it. Good to see someone using it. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesdannysback Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Randy thats really cool. If you are ever in the area and want to swing by you are more then welcome. We still need to reassemble N1925 but that project is not too far off. As for N52NP, it's hovering!!! Working on MRB weight and balancing currently but we were succesful thus far!
