to train pilots in the use of new modern "glass" cockpits, and
prepare pilots for the multi-engine rating.

ELITE training devices thoughout the world and the confidence the
Kadena AFB AeroClub has in the high quality of ELITE products and
services," said Stephen Gatlin, Marketing Director for ELITE. The
trainer should be delivered in the third quarter of 2008 and will
be a great asset to the Kadena AFB AeroClub.
