Folding features allows for quick and easy configuration changes. This high utility design provides for maximum versatility.

This aircraft is exceptional for carrying outsized cargo. Whether it’s LD-3 containers, bulky cargo or a wide range of cargo operations. This aircraft is the answer to those operational airports and remote airstrips that we will operate in.

A durable and FAA approved cargo floor and tie down system including nets will handle the 1225 cubic foot of cargo capacity. Heavy pallets are of no concern due to a built in winch located in the forward part of the cabin.

AVIONICSMuch improved and modern avionics provides us to fly into other areas that are navigational wise dangerous/hazardous. The Ground proximity radar, terrain and aircraft collision avoidance systems provides enhanced safety. Weather radar insures our crews 365-days a year ready status in our area of operations with it’s tropical weather.

The same safety requirements used by our modern day airliners.

SAFETY!!!

Fuel FerryingWith the ability to carry an additional 800 gallons of fuel in our outboard wings. We can ferry much needed fuel quickly to remote locations such as in the disaster of the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Otherwise not accessible by land, boat, or larger aircraft.

“It takes five hours to travel by vehicle from Cap Haiten to Pignon, Haiti. In that same amount of time we can transport approximately 6000 gallons of fuel with 5 minute flight legs.”

REMOTE AIRSTRIPS

The BT-67 gives us the ability to fly into short and unimproved airstrips located throughout the Caribbean and Central America.

AIR DROP SYSTEMS

Our aircraft have the capability to make precision low and slow approaches for immediate air dropping of supplies or medical personnel. Crewmembers are experienced in parachute insertions having conducted parachute operations with the Special Operations Command demonstration team on numerous occasions.

Our capabilities are unlimited. It could be spraying dissolvent's (BP disaster 2010) to mosquito’s to cure a recent outbreak of disease. Our aircraft gives us the capability to match all scenarios as a proven performer.
