maintaining focus on safety, productivity and cost efficiency. ARMOR is well named as they protect the pilots and aircraft that they service. Companies worldwide, including Ag and Firebombing operations in Canada, US, Africa, South America and Europe have their fleets protected by this new service and have already experienced the benefits. Randy Sandstrom, the owner and chief pilot of Prairie Dusters, an aerial spraying company, has described some of the benefits of using ARMOR as “lower maintenance costs, better insurance rates, improved efficiency, but more importantly increasing the safety of pilots and our company.” Randy, who flies the first H80- Switchback in Canada’s SEAT program, knows this firsthand because he has his Agriculture and Firebombing aircraft protected by ARMOR.
