"We are confident that our proven maintenance practices coupled with state of the art MRO technologies and facilities will ensure the Navy is provided with reliable engines capable of effective performance in all environments the aircraft are flown in," said Jim Henry, Vice President of Engineering for Standard Aero Government Services Division.
