Ramps Up Special Mission Expertise"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><em>Photo above &#8211;  Saab\u2019s GlobalEye platform benefits from Flying Colours Corp expertise. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flying Colours Corp., a maintenance, refurbishment, and\ncompletion specialist, continues solidifying its reputation for complex special\nmission expertise across a range of aircraft types having completed two\nsignificant projects in the last quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having undergone interior completions work at Flying Colours\nCorp. Peterborough headquarters in Ontario, a fifth Saab GlobalEye platform was\ndelivered from Bombardier\u2019s Toronto manufacturing site in August. As a\nBombardier Special Mission completion partner for Saab\u2019s GlobalEye program, a\ndedicated Flying Colours Corp. team is responsible for the design,\nmanufacturing, installation, and completion of the highly specified interior,\nwhich is based on the Bombardier Global 6000\/6500 type. Each monument shipset\nis individually produced to leverage the Global airframe as Flying Colours\nCorp. supports Saab through the introduction of a practical, functional\ninterior for the mission system operators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have had extensive experience working on the Global\nfamily in both VIP and special mission formats and are proud to have delivered\nthese aircraft in partnership with Bombardier to Saab. Saab\u2019s GlobalEye project\nspecifically showcases the high levels of technical expertise delivered by our\nexperience, knowledge, and the exceptional talent within our team,\u201d says Sean\nGillespie, Executive VP for Flying Colours Corp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the fourth in a series of six Q400MR\nmulti-purpose aircraft has been re-delivered to aerial firefighting specialist\npartner Conair. Flying Colours is responsible for the engineering, fabrication,\ninstallation, certification, and completion of four different cabin interiors\nto support passenger, cargo, combi-transport, and medevac special missions. On\ncompletion of the interiors, a fifth firefighting capability is equipped by\nConair. The ability to easily change the aircraft purpose within a quick time\nframe, maximizes operational efficiency and costs, in a diverse range of\noperating environments. The final two aircraft are anticipated to be completed\nin 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMedevac, VIP\/combi configurations, and surveillance, are\njust some of the special missions\u2019 mods we\u2019ve undertaken for governments,\nmilitary, border forces and private clients over the years. Creating a\npractical, functional area for a very precise task requires an intelligent approach,\ntechnical expertise and engineering talent, all of which we have in abundance,\u201d\nadds Gillespie. \u201cFor all our special mission work, from small medevac\nreconfigurations, through to the large aircraft modifications, the original\nairframe is leveraged to perform above and beyond the original spec and is\nadapted for an unambiguous role. We effectively alter the aircraft DNA, so it\nbecomes perfectly designed to execute a particular task\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flying Colours Corp. has noted an increased interest in\nspecial missions requests in the last six months for multi-purpose interiors,\nand the modification of regional jets into corporate shuttle interiors. In\naddition, it is expanding its capabilities to further support aerial\nfirefighting in response to the growing crisis related to the spread of\nwildfires, and their presence globally. Gillespie confirmed Flying Colours\nCorp. is attending the Aerial Firefighting Conference to be held in Abbotsford,\nBC, 26 October 2021, in support of its partners, and other specialists, in this\nhigh demand field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flying Colours Corp. will be talking up its special\nmissions\u2019 capabilities during NBAA-BACE 2021 Booth 923.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo above &#8211; Saab\u2019s GlobalEye platform benefits from Flying Colours Corp expertise.
