Beechcraft Corporation announced during the Farnborough International
Airshow that it has delivered the first of four Beechcraft King Air
350ER aircraft ordered by the Mexican Navy Secretaría de Marina
(SEMAR). In addition to the aircraft, Beechcraft will support SEMAR
with on-the-ground service, support and training through its Global
Mission Support organization. |
Rear
Admiral Jose Marie Macedo, Director General of Naval Aviation Operations,
visited company headquarters in Wichita, Kan., to accept delivery of
the aircraft, which will be stationed at the naval base in Veracruz.
The remaining three aircraft will be delivered by the second quarter
of 2015.
“SEMAR recognizes the Beechcraft King Air as a cost-effective
and reliable partner for special missions work within the country,”
said Dan Keady, vice president, Special Missions. “The Mexican
Navy operated a King Air C90 in the past and it’s great to see
the King Air family return to its fleet. The delivery of the King Air
350ER further expands the Beechcraft relationship with SEMAR, which
earlier this year placed an initial order for two T-6C+ military trainers.” |
