Light helicopter manufacturer Enstrom Helicopter announced the delivery of its first Enstrom 480B-G. The Garmin G1000H-equipped helicopter went to Rick Boswell of New Hampshire, who was greeted together with his instructor Roger Sharkey by a large group of employees at the Enstrom factory in Menominee, Michigan.

“When I heard about the G1000H, I had to have it,” Boswell said. “Partner it with the Enstrom 480B, and it’s my perfect helicopter.” Boswell learned to fly helicopters in a 480B at Sharkey’s Helicopters in West Lebanon, New Hampshire.
