MD Helicopter Links

On the possibility that it is MD Helicopters that the Midland Development Corporation has gone a courtin' here are some links regarding MD and it's quest for corporate welfare dollars.

MD Helicopters rejects Alliance move - AirportBusiness.com - 03/22/08

Mesa identifies tax incentives to keep MD Helicopters in city - Arizona Republic - 03/20/08

MD Helicopters: rent hikes, moving...and VLJs? - AviationBull - 03/19/08

Mesa works to keep MD Helicopters from leaving EV - East valley Tribune - 03/14/08

Revived MD Helicopters may land at Alliance - Fort Worth Star Telegram - 02/25/08

MD Helicopters could leave Mesa over rent hike - AZCentral.com - 11/29/07

Whether or not MD Helicopters is the company being sought it is apparent from a reading of these articles that 1) MD is masterfully playing several groups of Texas taxpayers against each other, 2) Although it has improved its situation somewhat, the company was near death just two years ago, and 3) Lynn Tilton is brash. Brash, I say!

UPDATE: Just how healthy is MD Helicopters?

Well, at least Lynn Tilton has the Ego and Mouth to live up to the West Texas Mystique of colorful business characters.

What is MD Helicopters going to do when a year after they move here they find out that all of their skilled laborers have decided that they want to become Landmen like everyone else in town who can fog a mirror?

She's a go-getter, alright.
