Workhorse Reliable. Training Tough.
Modified with multiple STC (Supplemental Type Certifcate) systems required by the Army, the TH-67 utilizes the commercial 206B airframe. Flight times for the fleet approach one million hours since 1993, so this record of reliability speaks for itself. And let's not forget how tough you gotta be to handle 9,000 auto rotations per year...
...by beginners.
