Post-Conference Tour of MD Helicopters

Lynn Tilton, CEO
 MD Helicopters   

The American Society of Appraisers is pleased to announce that arrangements have been made for a post-2012 ASA International Appraisers Conference tour with MD Helicopters of Mesa, Arizona, to provide an onsite visit of their headquarters and production facility on Falcon Field on Wednesday, October 10, 2012 from 1:00pm – 5:00pm.

The tour will visit several engineering and design offices and will feature the main plant where the “latest and greatest” MD helicopters are assembled and outfitted for their many civilian/commercial, public service and military roles.

“This is truly a RARE opportunity, which is seldom appropriate to say”, says MTS Discipline Governor, Sharon A. Desfor, ASA, President and Owner, HeliValue$, Inc. “But for those attending the Post-ASA Conference Tour of MD Helicopters, a select few will indeed experience just that!”

MD Helicopters is a leading manufacturer of commercial and military helicopters. The MDHI family of rotorcraft is world renowned for its value, versatility and performance. MD Helicopters traces its roots back more than 50 years to when Hughes Tool Company, Aircraft Division first started to develop “light helicopters” in 1955. Today, under the direction of CEO Lynn Tulton, the company has enjoyed a successful turn around. Her accomplishments have earned her the Aviation Entrepreneur of the Year Award—the first woman to do so.

Space for this tour is VERY limited, only 20 slots available and limited to Machinery and Technical Specialties Discipline registrants. Reservations will be made on a first-come, first-served basis with a wait list maintained should there be a cancellation. There is no additional cost for this tour.

Please note: Due to MD Helicopter’s status as a U.S. military contractor, foreign visitors will need to provide name, company and country in advance of the tour and must bring a valid passport for identification. All visitors will be checked in and must wear a visitor’s badge throughout the tour.
