Beechcraft Corporation has announced it will bring an impressive aircraft lineup to NBAA’s 2013 Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition, Oct. 22-24 in Las Vegas. The company will display eight aircraft from its commercial and military portfolio, as well as a historical Staggerwing, at its static display at Henderson Executive Airport, while featuring its Global Customer Support (GCS) organization at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
“We are bringing great momentum with us as we return to NBAA this year as Beechcraft Corporation,” said Shawn Vick, executive vice president, sales and marketing. “Our rebranded static and conference center exhibits send a clear message for our company: we design, build and support versatile and globally renowned aircraft. At static we’ll have our full line of piston-engine, turboprop, special mission and military aircraft, while the exhibit hall will showcase the products and services our Global Customer Support team offers Beechcraft and Hawker operators.”
The aircraft display at Henderson Executive Airport will debut the AT-6, T-6C and a 1943 Staggerwing. Beechcraft also is hosting a special exhibit with a King Air 350i customized for membership-based private aviation company Wheels Up. Beechcraft announced its partnership with Wheels Up in August with an order for up to 105 King Air 350i aircraft, representing the largest general aviation propeller aircraft order in history with a value of up to $1.4 billion.
New this year at the GCS booth will be a FlightSafety International simulator with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics display. The GCS team will be on hand to discuss Support Plus (cost predictability/warranty programs), Hawker Beechcraft Parts & Distribution (genuine factory parts), Hawker Beechcraft Services (factory-owned service centers), Technical Support (Field Support Representatives, Hot Line specialists and Technical Publications) and Global Mission Support (government business and special mission maintenance / training support).
Beechcraft’s aircraft on static display at NBAA include; King Air 350i, King Air 350ER, King Air 250, King Air C90GTx, Baron G58, Bonanza G36, and AT-6 T-6C.
