Today we started our third wave of training. It is a flight training group that consists of two New Tribes Mission Aviation (NTMA) pilot/mechanics and two JAARS pilot/mechanics. This is the biggest group of customers we have had so far and - when added to the two MAF pilots we already had - made for a busy training center. It's great to see the facility being utilized to a high degree.
Our two JAARS pilots arrived directly from Indonesia (31 hours travel time) where they had been involved in setting up operations of the first Quest Kodiak 100 to serve in missions overseas. It's great to be serving alongside these men as they seek to maximize the work of this new tool.
Our two NTMA pilots are getting set to take delivery of the first of 14 Kodiaks they have on order. Both men will be key in setting up operations, training and learning how to best utilize the aircraft which will also be going to Indonesia.
We are honored and sobered by the investment that organizations like MAF, NTMA and JAARS are making to come to STC to receive their turbine training.
