Nebraska Gas Turbine Inc. (NGTI, Booth N5932) and Billings Flying Service have teamed up to provide engine maintenance services to T55 operators. NGTI supports various engines and their components, including the T55 and T700. Billings Flying Service operates T55-powered Chinooks and T700-powered Blackhawks. Its investment in T55 OEM parts is expected to aid in NGTI’s responsiveness.
“We have provided engine maintenance support to Billings Flying Service for many years…[and] it made sense to combine our efforts and expand our partnership to offer this service to others,” said NGTI vice president Tracy Ogle.
Billings Flying Service will maintain the parts inventory necessary to support NGTI’s engine repair, maintenance, and overhaul services. “NGTI helps keep us flying. We’re excited to help them help others,” said Billings Flying Service co-owner Al Blain.
NGTI provides in-house repair services, including cleaning, welding, blasting, balancing, coating, non-destructive testing, and precision machining. It is an FAA repair station, a Honeywell-authorized T53 service center, and an approved aircraft maintenance organization by the South African Civil Aviation Authority.
