Company Teams Up With Army To Reach Delivery Milestone
Sikorsky Aircraft says it's delivered the 26th Black Hawk Recap
aircraft to the Army -- two weeks ahead of schedule on August 26,
2005. The Recap or A-to-A program, is recapitalization of the
UH-60A model aircraft to a like-new A model condition.
A commemoration ceremony was held at the Corpus Christi Army
Depot to celebrate the milestone on September 9th. In attendance
were MG James Pillsbury the AMCOM Commander, Timothy Sassenrath the
Depot Commander, Eric Edwards the Product Manager, UH-60 A/L
Utility PMO, John Chapman the Executive Director IMMC, and Dave
Adler the Sikorsky Senior Vice President for World Wide Customer
Service (WCS).
Sikorsky says the delivery of Aircraft #26 symbolizes the
success of the partnership contract between the Corpus Christi Army
Depot (CCAD) and Sikorsky Aircraft. Another indicator of the strong
partnership between the two organizations is that aircraft
production output has doubled at CCAD from 2004 to 2005.
The partnership, contracted with WCS in December 2002 is a
public-private partnership to reduce maintenance costs and improve
fleet readiness for the US Army and Department of Defense
rotorcraft. There are eighty onsite Sikorsky and Derco personnel at
the two million square foot Corpus Christi facility. CCAD services
the Army's entire fleet as well as rotary aircraft from all US
military services and numerous foreign customers.
The combination of OEM services and material support has
fostered a strong relationship between Sikorsky Aircraft and the
Depot, and prompted Colonel Sassenrath to comment, "The Sikorsky
partnership is turning the impossible into reality."
