The contractor that will run the Royal Canadian Air
Force's training program for the next 20 years have signed more deals for new
aircraft. SkyAlyne, a partnership between KF Aerospace and CAE, announced
Monday they had bought seven new Textron King Air 260s for use in its
multi-engine advanced training course at Southport, Manitoba. Graduates go on
to fly aircraft like the C-17, C-130, P-8 or A330.
Last week, SkyAlyne inked a deal for
three Dash-8-400s that were built by De Havilland Canada before it shuttered
its factory in Toronto. The planes have been in storage for several years and
are brand new. Those aircraft will be used to train weapons and sensor
operators. The company will also take delivery of 19 Pilatus PC-21 trainers and
23 Grob 120TP turboprop singles that will be basic training and skills
evaluation aircraft that will be the first plane that all new pilot recruits
fly.
