SAFARI Helicopter Acquired by CHR International Inc.
MARIANNA, FLORIDA USA August 18, 2009 – CHR International Inc., a US corporation previously involved in aviation, announces the acquisition of SAFARI Helicopter. The SAFARI is an “Experimental” class helicopter sold Flight Ready or as a Kit for homebuilding. Formerly called a “Baby Belle”, it bears a striking resemblance to a Bell 47.
Murray Sweet, one of the original developers of the SAFARI, will remain involved with the new company as a technical consultant, as will other long time members of the SAFARI team. The owners of CHR International Inc., Bobby and Delane Baker, anticipate providing the support that SAFARI owners expect through the development of a worldwide dealer network, including North America.
“Having worked with SAFARI for some time, we appreciate the quality and durability of the helicopter. SAFARI owners are our most valuable resource, and we look to them for ideas for continual improvement of the SAFARI. We have also reduced the dealership requirements in most parts of the world to increase sales and provide local support to owners and builders”, states Delane Baker.
