Scorpion To Make First Visit To Washington, DC

To Be On Display During The Air Force Association Conference

Textron AirLand, LLC, a joint venture between Textron Inc. and AirLand Enterprises, LLC, will bring its Scorpion ISR/Strike jet to Washington, DC for the duration of the Air Force Association’s Air & Space Conference from September 15 to 17. The aircraft will be displayed at Signature Flight Support Terminal, at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), approximately 10 miles from the conference center.

This will be Scorpion’s first visit to the Nation’s Capital, and comes one year after its introduction at last year’s AFA Air & Space Conference. Scorpion team leaders will be on hand to discuss the affordability, performance and multi-mission versatility of the aircraft. The interactive exhibit will demonstrate the multi-mission flexibility of the Scorpion and feature a variety of multi-spectral sensor and high-definition video camera packages engineered for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. Several wing-mounted mock munitions will be shown, representing a typical array of air-to-surface and air-to-air weapons preferred by the US and partner nations.

The aircraft is viewable by invitation only, in a closed facility not accessible to the general public. In addition to the aircraft exhibit, a Scorpion scale model will be displayed at the Textron AirLand booth during all hours of the Technology Exposition at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center on the Potomac, in National Harbor, MD.

Scorpion has completed over 190 hours of flight time since the start of flight testing program on December 12, 2013.
