Extract from Enstrom s website:
Enstrom’s 280FX and F-28F piston-powered helicopters are the only turbo-charged helicopters produced in the world today. They maintain sea level performance to 12,000 ft, outperforming all piston competitors. In addition to their excellent performance, they feature the roomiest 3 person cockpits in their class.
Helicopter is advertised elsewhere, so I reserve the right to withdraw from auction early.
