Power Flight Aviation’s parent company W & G Machine Company Incorporated (W & G), has been a part of the aerospace industry as supplier of helicopter spares since 1952.
Originally the company was a supplier of spares to the Sikorsky Aircraft Company for their full fleet of aircraft. This arrangement changed in the early 1980's when W & G's role as a Sikorsky supplier was modified to allow the company more autonomy and independence.
As a result of this change in strategic direction, the core business of W & G expanded with the primary focus changing to the US Department of Defense, in particular the US Army.
In more recent years, commencing from about 1987, W & G expanded its business further by seeking contracts from overseas operators of Sikorsky and Boeing built aircraft, notably the Royal Air Force (UK) and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), and Turkey. W & G's customer base now also includes the Pacific Basin and NATO operators.
The broadening of the customer base has also included the number of aircraft types supported which now extends to Sikorsky (UH60, SH60, H53, H3), Boeing (CH47 and McDonnell Douglas AH-64 Apache). |
