Elbit Systems Delivers Two Grob G120TP to RAF
|
Elbit Systems’ joint venture
with KBR - Affinity Flying Training Services - has reached a
significant project milestone with the delivery of its first
training aircraft.
The two Grob G120TP ‘Prefect’s’ that
will deliver elementary flying training were the first of the
fleet of aircraft to fly in to RAF Cranwell last week.
The
G120TP, which are side-by-side two seater aircraft, are used to
teach basic aviation principles and handling skills as well as
provide an introduction to basic navigation, night flying and
instrument-only flying.
The G120TP will be based out of RAF Cranwell and RAF Barkston Heath.
Affinity Flying Training Services will purchase
a total of 38 aircraft to support the three levels of flying
training.
“We are delighted to have delivered
these aircraft only 9 months after contract award,” said Martin Fausset CEO of Elbit Systems UK. “We are proud to be a part of
this significant project and look forward to seeing more aircraft
coming on stream next year.”
