HELICOPTER SALES, ACQUISITIONS, & APPRAISALS

RETURN TO: Bell 47 Helicopter Association

BE ADVISED THAT B47HA DOES NOT LIST AIRCRAFT FOR SALE DUE TO LIABILITY ISSUES, HOWEVER WE DO RECOMMEND ANY CORPORATE/BUSINESS MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING AND PROVIDE LINKS ACCORDINGLY.

B47HA APPROVED APPRAISERS

WE AT B47HA FEEL THAT BELL 47 PROFESSIONALS SHOULD DO APPRAISALS ON BELL 47. WE HAVE REPORTS THAT SOME TRANSACTIONS HAVE BEEN DEALT SERIOUS SETBACKS BY THE APPRAISAL INDUSTRY. THEREFORE, WE DO NOT RECOMMEND FIXED WING APPRAISERS DOING APPRAISALS ON ANTIQUE COLLECTIBLE HELICOPTERS SUCH AS THE BELL 47. RECENTLY ONE APPRAISER FAILED TO EVEN TAKE INTO ACCOUNT SEVERAL IMPORTANT VALUE LADEN ITEMS. THE VALUE REPORTED WAS CATASTROPHIC TO THE BANKERS DECISION MAKING PROCESS. B47HA STEPPED IN AT A MEMBERS REQUEST AND EDUCATED THE BANKER WHO WAS MORE THAN PLEASED TO HEAR NEW FACTS AND NUMBERS.

REMEMBER DON'T ACCEPT JUST ANY APPRAISAL ON YOUR BELL 47. OUR APPRAISER LIST WILL GROW, BUT OUR STANDARDS WILL ALWAYS REMAIN THE SAME. QUALIFICATIONS FOR APPRAISERS ARE NOT SOLD THEY ARE EARNED, MUCH LIKE A REPUTATION. WE DO NOT USE ANY SOFTWARE, WE USE HARD WORK & KNOWLEDGE.

ASK THE APPRAISER FOR HIS BELL 47 QUALIFICATIONS AND IF HE IS A B47HA MEMBER!

IF YOU WISH TO SUBMIT YOUR RESUME FOR APPROVAL PLEASE CONTACT OUR INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION. TWO WEEK PROCESSING AND SUBJECT TO VOTE BY TRUSTEES & OFFICERS. MAIN REQUIREMENTS MIN. 10 YEARS BELL 47 EXPERIENCE AND BUSINESS MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING.
