A Vietnam-era aircraft platform facing a challenging supply posture seems an unlikely candidate for an underdog victory story. But that’s just what happened when Fleet Readiness Center East (FRCE) artisans made a hard push to the finish line to complete and return to the fleet two H-53 heavy-lift helicopters – each having seen various stages of work stoppage during their repair at the depot – before the end of fiscal year 2021. With a cross-disciplinary group of support entities behind them, the team finished the job just under the wire, delivering the first aircraft Sept. 29 and the second Sept. 30. * * * * We cover every aspect of the global helicopter industry in the news pages on HeliHub.com ----- This feed is managed by @ParapexMedia - specialists in marketing intelligence and social media management for the aviation industry ----- #helicopter #helicopters #helicoptero #elicottero #hubschrauber #hélicoptère #śmigłowiec #вертолет #helikopter #helihub #helico #avgeek #aviation #instaplane -----
