Daher Joins United Aerial Firefighters Association

Versatile Kodiak 100's Use as Aerial Wildfire Spotter Builds the Daher Resumé

Daher has joined the United Aerial Firefighters Association (UAFA) in a move to raise the profile of its Kodiak 100 in fire service. The freshly-formed advocacy group serves as a focused channel to bring attention to widespread issues affecting the aerial firefighting and wildfire management industry - missions closely intertwined with the utilitarian Kodiak. So far, more than 320 have been delivered to customers around the world, taking on all the roles expected of a high-wing turboprop, including cargo, transportation, ISR, survey, airmed, parachute support, poaching surveillance, and training.
