The aircraft is described as having good paint and interior, with new TT straps installed last year and the main rotor blades recently inspected and repainted. It is configured as a three-seat VFR helicopter.

- Logbook Status
- From March 2007 through December 2017 the routine logbook entries never made it into the logbooks due to the service center doing the maintenance going out of business. Maintenance was turned over to East Texas Flying Service Inc. in March, 2017. This was my Enstrom service center until I sold it in April 2025. Aircraft was moved to East Texas and we went completely through it verifying that all required maintenance was performed and all component times were verified.
- Inspection Status
- Just out of extensive annual. East Texas Flying Service under the new owners has just completed a fresh annual in January 2026. We are currently correcting a few discrepancies that were discovered. It will be ready to fly away anywhere in 2 weeks.
