The Apollinan Defence Office wishes to purchase one squadron of training helicopters in order to train up our new, modern air force. These can be specific training craft, modified service craft, or retired helicopter types that have no real combat capability (good for training basics).

Senator Hokis
Defence Minister

We have some surplus training Kiowas that we can sell you, if you wish.

They are surplus, so they are only US$1,000,000 per Kiowa.

Hello,

I will take your offer on a 2 year, 5 billion dollar contract for the order of 1,200 rotary aircraft (helecopters), made for both civilian and military purposes. Your choices are as follows:

Civilian models:

STC Stargazer Mach 1:
A light helecopter, wieghing at only 2-3 tons each, this aircraft is extensively used throughout the AMS's airspace for both private and public use. Quick, manuverable, and gas-friendly, this craft is powered by one 2,100 hp twin-turbo 2-bladed rotary prop, with room for 5-6 people. It also comes with multible privacy/luxury options, ranging from the Base Model (Mach 1-BSE) to the Luxury Model (Mach 1-LXY)*, and finally the Executive Model (Mach 1-EXM)*.

Top Speed: 150 mph
Max. Altitude: 8,200 feet (not recommended)
Range: 500 miles
Cost: $120,000 (Base), $170,000 (Luxury), $213,000 (Executive)
Maximum weight available to carry: 2 tons

*NOTE: Models also come with optional landing-gear options (wheels, struts, etc.)


SDR Skyliner C.T.C.:
The SDR Skyliner C.T.C. (Civilian-Troop-Cargo) aircraft is a huge, slow, but powerful helecopter, designed for your specific needs. This is the work horse of the helecopter industry. An extremely sucessful design, the Skyliner can be agumented for Civilian Transport, Military Troop Transport, or special Cargo Hauling Transports. Very Powerful, the copter is powered by two, three-bladed rotars, with each powered by a 12,000 hp Twin Turbo GMC Engine. While extremely versatile and useful, be warned: this aircraft is slow and bulky by Copter standards. Weighing in at 60 tons, it is easy to see why this is so. Please note, that Military Variants are NOT available to the general public. Military Variants are extremely versatile, and can be converted from a troop transporter to a Flying Fortress in just a matter of an hour.*

*Results depend on the number of people working on the aircraft, and what weapons/equipment is used.

Top Speed: 115 mph
Max. Altitude: 10,000 feet
Range: 700 miles
Max. Wieght available to carry: 25 tons
Number of people available to carry: 30**

**Depends on Variant and people/equipment used.


That is all for now. I will be sure to include more if you are interested. We also have a huge line of Military Aircraft available, along with many more Civilian Transports. Contact me for more information.

-Friendly Regards,
Commander-General Vlad Pryde

Upper Xen, we would be delighted to buy one squadron (12 choppers) of Kiowa Warriors for $12 million. They are perfect for thier function due to their two seat, side by side, design. We have set aside cash to modify them to duel control once they have arrived in Apollina.

OOC - Armed Military States, sorry to make you type all of that out, but where did you get 1200 craft from?! Sorry again for making you type all that for nothing.
