'Delivered on Every Promise'

“I had elected to rebuild one of my -41s and was surprised with a $450,000 overhaul bill for just one engine! Your upgrade has delivered on every promise. We love the increase in TAS, approx. 280 knots, and especially the reduced time-to-climb. It is a great comfort in having factory new -42 engines and all they offer. No matter who does the math, it makes a great deal of sense up front, not to mention performance enhancements, and last but not least the reduced cost on the next overhaul.”

Steve Brackett, Southeast Lumber, BB-810

'Best Investment We Ever Made'

“Installing the Blackhawk XP135A engine upgrade on our Conquest was the best investment we ever made – and the efforts to make the experience smooth and enjoyable by Blackhawk were astonishing. Your performance representations were right on the mark. When we need assistance in tweaking the engines, you sent someone to Denver, at your expense, to review the situation and not only adjusted engines, but taught us how to maximize their performance with proper attention to power settings, climb speeds, loading, etc. It has been several years since the installation and we could not be happier.”

Herb Buchwald, 425-0214, Air Colorado

'A Thrill to Fly'

“The XP engine upgrade has exceeded my expectations and is by far the best aftermarket investment I have ever made on any aircraft. Having extra horsepower at the right hand makes the Blackhawk Cheyenne an absolute thrill to fly.”

Jeff Mickler, XP135A Cheyenne I, 31T-8004057

'Good for Cash Flow'

“The new Blackhawk engines increase the performance of our aircraft and allow us to reduce the flight time…for the same commercial price. It is very good for the company cash flow.”

Albert Ruoso, BL-11

'Travel Farther'

“I have had a wonderful experience with my C90 upgrade. The Blackhawk modification has delivered as promised in performance. I’m so impressed that I have given the go-ahead to install the Blackhawk extra range fuel lockers so that I can travel even farther in my King Air. Eliminating a fuel stop will save time and money!”

Tom Abood, LJ-1165

'We don’t worry about expensive engine maintenance'

“Our -52 conversion has been everything we expected. Our flying has increased 38%, mainly because we don’t have to worry about expensive engine maintenance bills. The engines have made trips from PA to Southern FL much more comfortable as we have been able to shave off a solid hour of flight time. I would recommend this conversion to anyone with old and tired -41 or -42 engines.”

Adam Winkler, BB-246

'Helps With Operating Costs'

“The improved speed and performance really adds up on our long flights and helps with our operating costs.”
