Texas-based King Aerospace Companies and Pennsylvania-based The Thurmond Group have formed a strategic partnership that unites two reputable names in aviation. The alliance will enable both companies to grow their support for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) specifically, and aircraft modifications in general.
The Thurmond Group has built strong relationships with both ISR-focused government and private industry by providing integration services for that include but are not limited to sensors, networking, operation systems and the Federal Risk Management Framework (RMF). Both it and King Aerospace are known for their ISR quick reaction capability (QRC). Maintenance, engineering and FAA-certified modifications will be handled at King Aerospace’s facility in Ardmore, OK, just 90 miles north of Dallas.
The AS 9110-certified operation accommodates the most common turboprop and jet aircraft for commercial and military/government commercial-derivative applications. This includes Dash 8, King Air, Boeing 737, Citation, Gulfstream and Challenger aircraft. The King Aerospace facility includes a 9,000-foot runway and encompasses four hangars with more than 200,000 ft² of space. It offers a highly skilled workforce that operates on a no-excuses philosophy.
