Blackhawk offers financing for engine upgrades

By Janice Wood · July 6, 2009 ·

Blackhawk Modifications, Inc. has unveiled an Engine Financing Program that offers up to 100% financing to qualified U.S. buyers. The Financing Program may include the cost of the engines, shipping and installation of factory-new Pratt & Whitney PT6A engines.

blackhawkThe program provides qualified customers the ability to finance their engine purchase using a 15-year fully amortized loan schedule with a balloon payment due after five years. A payment example for a set of -61 engines at a list price of $870,000 would generate a monthly payment of $7,796. Additionally, the tax savings under the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act may offset the monthly payments made during 2009, officials with the Waco, Texas-based company said.

The financing option is available for engine models PT6A-61, -52, -42 and -135A. Operators of Cheyenne I, II and IIXL, as well as Conquest I, are advised to call Blackhawk directly at 254-755-6711 to discuss financing options on a case-by-case basis. Charter operators with a solid track record will also be considered for financing.
