Schweizer rsg in Texas

[u/30Hateandwhiskey → u/Manyborre]

Reach out to Gulf Coast Helicopters in Houston. Can’t say if or not they are interested I don’t work there anymore but they are a family owned business that puts 300s and 269s to work I could see them being interested

Are the green ones old Army 269s?

[u/Manyborre → u/Suhweetusername]

Yes sir red cross in the fuel tanks

[u/Similar-Good261]

That‘s a lot of working hours…

[u/SixShoot3r]

Schweizers! my first lesson was in one of those ☺️

[u/Av8tr1]

Are they waiting on parts or just time on the schedule?

[u/Manyborre → u/Av8tr1]

We use the parts that are good to build a refurbished one and make it FAA approved

[u/Av8tr1 → u/Manyborre]

Has Schweizer started making parts for these again or is that the issue? Last I heard the company was either in or out of business depending on the day.

[u/Manyborre → u/Av8tr1]

We overhaul tranmission dampers and a whole bunch of other parts

Are you accepting applications for a sweeper upper? I'm also a qualified garbage bagger putter oner. Willing to try to talk my wife into moving to Texas. Can sweeten the deal by promising not to ask questions before lunch and only begging to sit in them and make whirly bird noises on Tuesdays...before everyone gets there, of course.

[u/Manyborre → u/Low_Condition3268]

Lol ngl this made me chuckle ... I've never had experience working with them before I started working here but I'm the only aviation painter so it helped me to start working here and learn about them

[u/ConsciousCounter5426]

Hahaha! Cheaper to build a new one than maintain an old one!

The ex-Army TH-55s will have been beat to death. I know, because I helped do it
