Aero Toy Store Chases Helo Market

Aero Toy Store of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. is making helicopter cabin finish work a growing part of its completion and refurbishment business. At Heli-Expo 2008 in Houston, the company displayed a new Agusta-Westland AW139 equipped with Aerospace Concepts International’s Cocoon noise-reduction package. The AW139 on display was configured for nine passengers, with a rear-facing, four-place divan, two forward-facing seats and removable three-place forward-facing jump seats. Rounding out the VIP furnishings were two 15-inch LCD monitors with Airshow’s moving map, two-zone cabin climate control, CD/DVD player, satellite radio, iPod interface and external cameras.
