NationAir Insurance representatives Joan Zaleski and Doug Tibbs recently visited Ryan Rotors, Inc.,
(Plymouth, MA) for a first hand look at the Bell 47 helicopter and to meet the pilots who fly them.
The two-hour visit included
walk-arounds on three Bell 47G3-B1 and B2 helicopters, videos covering the role
of the Bell 47 in the cranberry industry with helicopters from Ryan Rotors, and
15-minute flights for both
Joan and Doug provided by owner John Ryan.
“This really gives us the
opportunity to see the Bell 47 up close and to see (and understand)
how these helicopters are actually used in the field. Meeting our insurance
clients in person
helps us to better represent them to the insurance markets,” says Doug Tibbs,
NationAir representative
from the Nashua, NH office.
John’s video presentation of
his helicopters in action showed the significance of the Bell 47 to the
cranberry industry in the Cape Cod area. “You can’t drive a truck into a
cranberry bog without completely
damaging or destroying it. Mud lifting, fertilizing, and cranberry harvesting
cannot be done without
the use of helicopters. The Bell 47 and its long history of reliability has
proven it to be a true performer
in our industry,” says John Ryan.
After her 15-minute flight with John in his Bell 47G3-B2, Joan reiterated Doug’s feelings about the meeting. “This certainly gives us a real-world perspective on helicopters, especially from the air in a Bell 47. We’re looking forward to having meetings just like this one with our other clients. Representing our clients to the insurance markets is our top priority.”
