AT Aviation is delighted to offer this exceptional MD 500E, now available from our UK showroom. A 1988 model, this helicopter presents a rare opportunity to own one of the most versatile and iconic machines in its class. This MD 500E benefits from an impressive maintenance pedigree, with a recently overhauled Allison 250-C20 engine in 2024 offering 3,400 hours remaining.

Renowned for its agility and powerful performance, the MD 500E is built on the legacy of the original Hughes 500, evolving into a more powerful, efficient, and refined machine. Its five-blade main rotor provides superior lift and maneuverability, while the high tail boom and sleek fuselage make it ideal for confined area operations. With 2,450 hours remaining on the main rotor blades and 3,600 hours on the tail rotor blades, this aircraft is ready for years of flying. Avionics include a Garmin 340 audio panel, Trig TY96 8.33 radio, Bendix King radio and transponder, RCA 2610 digital attitude indicator, Sky Map, Artex ELT, Davtron M800 chronometer, and convenient USB ports.
