Long-time gas turbine engine industry icon Perry Siler has announced his plans to officially retire on the close of the last day of Heli-Expo 2016 in Louisville, Kentucky.

“As our Southeast Sales and Service Manager, Perry has an unbelievable customer following and reputation for providing outstanding service and support to our industry,” exclaimed Rob Ruck, President of M International. “Perry’s been an integral part of our continued success and will be sorely missed by everyone within our Organization. I think it only fitting for him to end his aviation career in Kentucky, the same state where he began. Throughout the remainder of this year I hope you’ll join me in wishing both he and Bonnie well as they begin the next step in their life together.”

With over 40years’ experience, Perry began his career in 1973 as an aircraft mechanic for Petroleum Helicopters, Inc. (PHI). In 1984 he took a leap of faith and entered the world of Turbine engine sales, service and support and proceeded to build a phenomenal reputation as an engine expert and premier customer advocate for operators of the Rolls-Royce M250 series engine. Recently he’s combined these experiences and knowledge to build a truly global following while never losing sight of just how important each and every customer is to both his company and himself.
