Blackhawk Celebrates Milestone Achievement: 800 XP Engine+ Upgrades Sold

ORLANDO, Florida – October 15, 2018 – Blackhawk Modifications, Inc. is proud to announce that with the sale of the Phoenix-edition King Air C90-1 pictured above, the Company has achieved 800 XP Engine⁺ Upgrades sold since their start in 1999.

This aircraft is equipped with Blackhawk’s XP135A Engine⁺ Upgrade, which the new owners, Gregg and Jan Goodall, cited as one of the key deciding factors in the purchase decision.

“There was never a moment that we considered a purchase without the XP135A engines either already installed or to be installed immediately after the time of purchase - anything less was a non-starter,” said Mr. Goodall. “Because our favorite destinations are out west, hot and high operations became a concern. Stock PT6A-21 engines on the older models just didn’t work very well in hot and high situations, even when carrying a modest payload. When I started researching options and talking to other King Air owners, I found that the Blackhawk XP135A Engine modification was the industry standard to improve overall performance – especially hot, high, and single-engine performance in the C90. The decision was a no brainer.”
