Explore small cap ideas before they hit the headlines.
I agree that silver might be ready for a decline. I have shorted it since Monday. Currently appear to be in a triangle pattern on the hourly chart. RSI and MACD showing negative divergance on the 3 hr chart. Also, silver has broken the daily rising trendline. Also, look at some other securities and we can see some correlation. Gold is trading at its 100 day sma, silver has touched its 50 day sma. Gold has broken its rising trendline as well. IMO things are looking a little bearish for silver. My plan is to short it down to its 100 day SMA. I am establishing a small core position. I will add and subtract from that postition taking profits as it works it way down.
My advice to you is to play the technical indicators/charts. Learn candles,MACD,CCI,RSI,ADX,and so on. I got away from it and tried news plays, and lost out. If you want something you can get some good practice on try a FOREX account. Most sights offer free accounts to practice with. Additionally, I make more money trading FOREX and playing technical indicators with less money. For example the AUD/USD pair was at .8010 one week ago. If you had recognized the support at that area and watched it (bought at .8100 area using $160 leveraged 100:1 your net profit over the last week would have been approximately $1000 plus any interest paid to you. they move fast and you can play them almost 24 hours sun-fri. You can get some good experience with with technical indicators and reading charts (1day,4hr,1hr,15min,5min,1min). You will learn how to recognize support and resitance. I have a practice account and the hands on experience I get from it is amazing.
Again, play your technicals and be patient. Get in at the price you want to get in at and sell where you want to sell at.
This is he stock market. If ppl could accuratly predict how much a stock will go up and how long it would take then they would be filthy rich, and everyone would be doing it. Don't know how long it will take for it to hit .02, or if it even will hit that level again. I feel your pain because I got in at .0225 and now stuck like chuck for now. I failed to stay disciplined and now paying big time for it. If I would have waited for this t drop down and settle out then I would be up good right now. If i would have sold for a small loss i would have made it back by now. Shame on me.
If Alex was dumping shares again do you think they would do it a few mil at a time? Probably not. The PPS moves up on little volume, and so it would stand to reason it will move south on little selling volume.
So with the technicals starting to warm up and the rumor of future news on the way; some ppl will be looking to swing trade this one. Small build ups now. Additionally, anyone who got in at .005 are are probably looking to sell soon (quick profit better than no profit).
Also, if your were in at .005-55 and able to sell at .008 then that is a 45%-60% profit. Who wouldn't take that kind of profit on thier money.
TADF Chart:
Chart is starting to shape up. Looks like some good support around the upper .006's now. .008 still seems to be showing some good resistance, however the more times we walk up to .008 the better the chances are that we will break through it.
MACD turning up; CCI pointing up and at -57 (moving into buy zone); I have the TRIX set a little faster and definately showing upward momentum. IMO a punch through the .008's and the next resistance level looks to be .0102
A catalyst like PR at this point would be very good for us right now (IMO). Need to continue a good bullish run here past .012's and then a PR release could offer .06+ (IMO). PR here will offer flippers too much of an oppurtunity to drive the price down after a quick 30-40% (as we have seen in the past few days). As the technical indicators show an uptrend that should put more eyes on this, and more ppl looking to swing this. (Swing Trade).
Looks like we found support at the .005 area. Need to close above .0084 today for a nice bullish indication. 2 support lines I see so far. S1=.006 and S2=.005. IMO resistance at .008 and .0086 respectively. A break through .008 and a close above .008 should help establish new support at .008. This is all my opinion though.

TADF chart
TRIX looks like it will curl up, MACD needs some more time (buying pressure/support), CCI curling up -73 (look to buy about -50 or so), RSI is 40 and looks like it wants to trade sideways.

Hi, I am in TADF as well. I just don't agree with you about TADF in regards to some General from some other company. Additionally, it seems like TAC-AIR is doing some good things, but they are not part of TADF yet. TADF only has a LOI with TAC-AIR. So until they are merged then it makes no difference as to what TAC-AIR does for us in TADF. TADF joing the Ukraine Business Counsil and no PR from it! That PR might have helped reverse the downward trend around the .007 area. It seems to me like the current person in charge PR'd everything to dump shares and now that it is over they are not to concerned with PPS. So until TADF does something in the interest of the share holders I will remain skeptical about them. I personally feel most have been duped into this "company" and most of us in are bag holders right now. I hope this thing turns around, but I am not holding my breathe.
Has TAC-AIR and TADF merged? If not then TAC-AIR is its own entity and TADF isn't getting anything. Just a thought.
Does anyone really care about what an ex-general or any ex-high ranking military officer does? NO. These guys are usually politically connected. I am in the military, and you would be surprised of how some would consider the waste of funds we have. Most of these guys want to be in charge of something and be paid for it. Most of these guys end up as consultants/figure heads somewhere. Consider this; these guys were in-charge of a government agency that is run like a corporation whose whole job is to lose money and never make a dime. If a unit/command has money left over at the end of the fiscal year and they don't spend it then they will lose it and possible have thier budget shorted for the following year. Also, these guys will make decisions to send people they don't know to die. So unless this guy is coming out with a plan for shareholders that is positive then consider yourself part of the expendable units that are a casualty of war my friend.
thanks, looks like i will be looking to open an account to short all of these one day wonder 1000% subs.
I don't put much into these people. I am in the military and don't get all centered around the fact this guy is a 3 star anything. Everyone if falliable, and my next question is what is this 3-star doing with the likes of Alex who is a known criminal, and his activities so are seem questionable? I would assume the last thing this ex general cares about are share holders.
Patch,
Is there even a brokerage that would let you short sub pennies/pennies? If there is can you point me to it. No one would be sitting around looking to play these pinks from the bottom, we would all wait for them to run nice and then short it. Look around after the news and hype is over (which doesn't take very long) you just short it. Subs that run up 500% plus in a single day; you can almost bet on them crashing pretty hard the next day or two. So if anyone knows of a brokerage that will let you short subs/pennies please let me know.
Sale price is below because it is on special. Probably the Walmart roll backs. 15% discount right now.
Here is what I think happened here. Time for the "company" to get money to support thier 2 employees pay. They are out of money and can't take on anymore debt. Hire a company to promote you, pump up your pps, dump a bunch of shares in the market (that is about the only revenue they have), and sustain your pay for another year or so. Look that the financials and the frequency they dump shares. They are just sitting around doing what ever and taking our money. When they run out of money they will just pump the company and dump more shares. I am sure they have been doing this for a while and they know that eventually we will all go away and leave them alone.
The SEC is too busy with the crooks on the big markets to even begin to do much here. My advice to anyone here is to just stop putting your $$$ into these crap markets. If you really want to invest and know the technicals but don't want the SEC day trader restrictions that you have here with a normal brokerage account then look at the FOREX. Play the technicals, and charts and you can trade as many times as you want with as little as you want. Stop wasting your time with these crappy penny companies.
Everyone likes to blame the MM's, but the truth is they move the price based on the # of shares available (in thier inventory) and demand for the shares. If the shares coming into them were sold at a higher price and they are now purchasing at a lower price then they are making out. I don't blame the MM's. They could bump the price up, but if no one is buying that high then they aren't moving shares. they are buying at prices they feel good about and selling at as high as a price they can get for it. Right now there is no demand for this company and if ppl keep dumping shares into the bid they the price will only continue to move south.
when are they supposed to reverse split?
yep....maybe this will turn around, but judging from past experience it will only get worse and we are bag holders....
This guy is not accountable to any shareholder really. This is a pinksheet, and is a non reporting company. His only obligation is to get paid and try to make deals work out. If that mean pumping his pps and dumping shares then that is what he will do. When it comes to you making your money or him getting paid then he will get paid everytime. I only hope that some day the US regulates all markets and holds them accountable. PPl who make it big trading pinks are very patient and disciplined. They have the resources to get in and out while one of these stocks are moving. I look back at my the trades I made here and ask myself "what was I doing?"
I made my last high risk trade a few weeks ago (and again another loser) and will not look at making another trade with otc or pk market again. At this point I would of had a better shot at taking my few hundred to a casino and gambling. That is what I will do in the future. I will only invest in big board stocks with the time/price is right. I have made more money playin texas hold em than I have trying to invest in a penny/sub penny stock. I have made more on FOREX than I have here.
IMO if you are looking to invest look else where, like the big markets where companies are accountable to someone, or get good at reading charts and technical indicators and go to FOREX. Otherwise go to a casino.
Look everyone I used to be a BEDA bag holder, and got out. One thing that I have learned with these stinky pinkies is to only play the momentum. So, unless your an active trader then don't bother putting your money in. Lesson learned now with 3 pk and bb companies is that they are not holds. They are not investments. Most of these companies pump thier pps to pay themselves, and mostly because they have no more credit. You might luck out and find one that will take you for a nice ride, but get out when you are up. If you are looking to make an investment then take a look at the big boards. If you take the amount of money you would have been up playing a big board vs how much was lost on some of these long shots then 10-20% in a 3-6 month period is pretty good.
GLTA
well, some might just be selling because they are minimizing thier losses. Some might have received shares as payment for something else. Personally I am taking a BIG loss if I sell at this price. I wish I would have accepted my loss a while ago and sold at a smaller loss. Now I have to just sit back and hope this guy who is running this company does more that sit around and pump the pps when it is time to get paid so that he can dump shares. That is what it looks like is happening to me. Just my opinion though.
Sir,
what is going on with this company? Are you getting contracts or not? It appears to me that what has been done here is when this company needs money you hype the stock pps up and dump shares. This seems very unethical to me. As a member of the military I feel having invested in your company that I have made a mistake. If you are indeed operating in an unethical manner I hope you never recieve a contract.
If your company really is doing something then I am sure I will hear about it eventually.
I think what your seeing is just people getting out, and taking their losses. We are really going to have to wait for a good PR from the company to see this really move again. I doubt we will see any PR any time soon. I am stuck at .02 here, and would like to see something soon.
GLTA
Well everyone lets hope for some good PR soon. Looks like this company could have some goods military contracts soon based on yesterdays aerial refueling article. Hopefully they put something together soon.
GLTA
TADF could be getting HOT very soon!!!!!!!
AERIAL TANKER shortage update, article quote, should get contracts for the IL-78/76's!
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE4A56CG20081106
Looks like we have some sideways movement here. Consalidating for the next leg up.
B/A starting to move up and we are starting to get some vol. Hopefully a good green close today, followed with some good PR in the next day or two.
Making a move back up here.....Lets see if we can't keep the momo going!
Lets see another GREEN close today! TADF is on some email alerts for today! Hopefully keep alot of eyes on this one. Some good news today or tomorrow will be nice! If a reverse merger is in the works then we could be in for some nice gains!
-GLTA
TADF Possible REVERSE MERGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reverse merger plays can be the most profitable of them all. Many RM stocks have exploded more than 1000%, the highest of recent reverse merger stocks, LFZA (now USSE) soared to a high 420,000% greater than pre-RM prices.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also found this info on it....
http://www.shellstockreview.com/ssr-Home.html
Buy here. 1st resistance is at .0194 (we tested above this today and second is at .0214! Lets hope for a close about .02 tomorrow and then anything after that should be cake!
Closing in the green today was the good thing. right now the candle is pretty much nuetral however, ADX,CCI,and MFI are pointing up. TRIX and MACD need some work, but they are a little slower. We might be at the beginning of a nice reversal here. slow stochastic looks oversold, any thoughts? Last time it was under 20% SStochastic, climbed 50% to .02 before going to .04.
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=TADF&p=D&yr=0&mn=3&dy=0&id=p78086520992
so, no matter what this will have a positive influence on us?
I agree. however, alot of companies out there making some $$$ right now. I am not bashing them, I am in them right now. I think with pretty much with assets in place and an almost clean slate (as far as debt and operating costs) they are positioned for some nice profit this year, as long as they get the contracts. Executives they have at the table have alot of connections, and the experience they offer will be very valuable. Have to wait and see how tomorrow is. Seems like alot of ppl are bullish on them. I would hope to see some PR in the next few days updating contracts and acquisition.
GLTA
Makes me wonder how others are going to perceive the 10-Q. Will there be a sell off? Or will TADF provide some good PR to prevent that and then drive the pps up? Interesting to see how this will play out.
Hi all. I had a small position in BEDA, however sold it. I took a small loss, i was averaged in at .0014 and sold last week at .0014. Lost my commissions on the trades.
I like BEDA, and will rebuy once we have news. This one has some of the makings of a runner, but needs a catalyst. I am sure it will come soon.

It holds license with the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms as an importer of implements of war relating to former military aircraft and related parts, which enable the company to import, own, and operate military aircraft.

On May 7, 2010, an involuntary petition for liquidation was filed under Chapter 7 was filed against Tactical Air Defense Services Inc. in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Southern District of Florida, West Palm Beach.
News Today:
CARSON CITY, Nev., May 24, 2010 -- The Chief Executive Officer of Tactical Air Defense Services, Inc. (OTCBB:TADF), an Aerospace/Defense Services contractor, has issued a Shareholder Update to further explain previously disclosed recent material events.
SHAREHOLDER UPDATE-MAY 24, 2010
In light of the exciting events that have recently taken place with Tactical Air Defense Services, Inc. ("TADF"), TADF will be issuing a series of Shareholder Updates to summarize and clarify some of these events. We believe our shareholders are our most valuable asset, and that the better informed and educated they are about our business, the more they will believe in and support the future success of TADF in the same they way that TADF management does.
This first Shareholder Update will attempt to clarify and explain the implications of the most recent material event to take place; the execution of a Letter of Intent for TADF to acquire (the "Acquisition") Tactical Air Support, Inc. ("TAC AIR"), as disclosed in an SEC Form 8-K filing last Friday, the 21st of May, 2010 by TADF.
TADF management believes the Acquisition of TAC AIR (www.tacticalairsupport.com) brings to TADF the ingredients to make the combined entity a dominant player in the private-sector Aerospace/Defense Services industry, an underserved industry with rapid growth potential and little competition.
Understanding who the members are of the impressive management team and employee roster that TAC AIR has assembled over the last five years, and who will in large part be running the post-Acquisition business, is the first step to understanding who we will be post-Acquisition, and what we will be capable of:
-- The President of TAC AIR, Rolland C. Thompson, who will replace Alexis C. Korybut as CEO post-Acquisition, was, in addition to many other significant accomplishments and leadership positions, the Commanding Officer of TOPGUN, widely recognized as the most prestigious advanced fighter weapons school in the world, and Commander of a Carrier Air Wing supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.
-- The Management and Employee team of TAC AIR currently consists of 15 very accomplished and experienced military veterans who have been leaders within the military establishment and corporate industry.
-- Please take the time to fully understand the impressive biographies of Rolland C. Thompson and TAC AIR's management team in the bios section of TAC AIR's website www.tacticalairsupport.com/company_bios
In addition to the all-star management team, the post-acquisition TADF brings together a very strong Board of Directors including:
-- Rolland C. Thompson, Director and Chief Executive Officer. Please see Mr. Thompson's bio at www.tacticalairsupport.com/company_bios -- Alexis C. Korybut, Director and Chief Financial Officer. Among other accomplishments, Mr. Korybut is an experienced investment banker and financial professional having worked at Salomon Brothers (now part of Citigroup) and having built Sterling Financial Group of Companies into, according to Inc. Magazine in 2008, the 8th fastest growing privately-held company in the U.S. doing over $34 million in annual revenues in only a few short years. Please see Mr. Korybut's bio on the TADF website at www.tads-usa.com/management_alexis.html -- General Ronald R. Fogleman (retired), Director: Among other significant accomplishments, General Fogleman was the Chief of Staff (head) of the U.S. Air Force, and a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Unites States, the exclusive group of military leaders of the U.S. Armed Forces that advises the government and the President of the United States.
Please see General Fogleman's bio on the website of the U.S. Air Force at www.af.mil/information/bios/bio.asp?bioID=5434
In additional to its unsurpassed Management and Employee team, TAC AIR brings to post-Acquisition TADF the following significant attributes:
-- Contracts: TAC AIR has current flying and consulting contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense and commercial customers.
-- Revenues: TAC AIR has current revenues from government and commercial contracts.
-- Aircraft: Through its minority ownership of a related company that buys military aircraft to lease back to TAC AIR for deployment in its flying contracts, TAC AIR has partial ownership and use of a small but growing fleet of military aircraft. Please see www.tacticalairsupport.com/aircraft for details of the aircraft.
-- Pipeline: TAC AIR has a pipeline of potential contracts with both the U.S. and foreign-allied militaries (although no assurances can be given that any of these potential contracts will result in a final award of a contract).
-- Trackrecord: TAC AIR has a trackrecord of operational excellence and success.
The vision and strategy of post-Acquisition TADF is built upon the premise that the current level and business model of defense spending is unsustainable. The high-tech costs associated with the operation and maintenance of fighter aircraft, and the concurrent cost of pilot training have spiraled to staggering levels. In addition, the current practice of using U.S. military units to train international students is also taking a toll on our Armed Forces and aircraft, and has left some allied countries without access to adequate training for their Air Forces.
We believe that providing sound business principles and practices to our military and foreign-allied militaries will create tremendous efficiencies and allow badly needed cost savings. Our business model is built around austerity where the less money available to the military, the more attractive our services become because this void can only be filled by a private-sector entity with the skills, experience, and understanding of a company such as post-Acquisition TADF.
As such, our vision is simple; establish a world-class private-sector military aviation services organization providing tactical aviation training, consulting, and maintenance support for both commercial and Government/Military entities. As former TOPGUN and Air Force Weapon's School instructors, TAC AIR has taken a page from the military's handbook: become a center of excellence in all that we do. Post-Acquisition TADF will be a company composed of experts who we believe know the tactical aviation arena better than any other private-sector company, and will be capable of providing support to the military and commercial industry in tactics development, training, and evaluation, and to subject matter expertise as applied to weapons systems and deployment.
Specifically, TAC AIR has developed unique flying support services for the U.S. military and foreign-allied militaries that focus on emulating the threat rather than trying to exactly duplicate it. While threat emulation takes more innovation and effort, the end result can be significant cost savings for our customers. A case in point is the very basic L-29 aircraft that TAC AIR flies; adapting a U.S. engine with speed modifications learned from the Reno Air Races, we are able to produce an airplane with the exact performance characteristics of an A-10 or SU 25. We can do this all for a cost that is one tenth of an actual fighter.
Our approach to doing business is unique as well. Most of today's "business as usual" defense contracting companies are backward looking and focused on getting close to the military in order to shape a contract proposal to their advantage. We on the other hand, have built a classic low-end market disruption model specifically targeting those who don't know they can use or afford private-sector military aviation services. TAC AIR/post-Acquisition TADF on the other hand, will continue to use our extensive understanding of military training to examine cost savings changes in the way operations are being conducted, and then present a business proposal that outlines dollars saved and training enhanced. We believe this sort of common sense approach is the future of defense contracting.
In summary, we at TADF and TAC AIR are very excited about where we have taken these companies, but that exuberance is nothing compared to how we feel regarding where our combined companies are going.

Post-Acquisition TADF will be a company composed of experts who we believe know the tactical aviation arena better than any other private-sector company, and will be capable of providing support to the military and commercial industry in tactics development, training, and evaluation, and to subject matter expertise as applied to weapons systems and deployment.
Specifically, TAC AIR has developed unique flying support services for the U.S. military and foreign-allied militaries that focus on emulating the threat rather than trying to exactly duplicate it. While threat emulation takes more innovation and effort, the end result can be significant cost savings for our customers. A case in point is the very basic L-29 aircraft that TAC AIR flies; adapting a U.S. engine with speed modifications learned from the Reno Air Races, we are able to produce an airplane with the exact performance characteristics of an A-10 or SU 25. We can do this all for a cost that is one tenth of an actual fighter.
Our approach to doing business is unique as well. Most of today's "business as usual" defense contracting companies are backward looking and focused on getting close to the military in order to shape a contract proposal to their advantage. We on the other hand, have built a classic low-end market disruption model specifically targeting those who don't know they can use or afford private-sector military aviation services. TAC AIR/post-Acquisition TADF on the other hand, will continue to use our extensive understanding of military training to examine cost savings changes in the way operations are being conducted, and then present a business proposal that outlines dollars saved and training enhanced. We believe this sort of common sense approach is the future of defense contracting.
In summary, we at TADF and TAC AIR are very excited about where we have taken these companies, but that exuberance is nothing compared to how we feel regarding where our combined companies are going.

TADF NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!
Tactical Air Defense Services Issues Shareholder Update
CARSON CITY, Nev., May 24, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- The Chief Executive Officer of Tactical Air Defense Services, Inc. (OTCBB:TADF), an Aerospace/Defense Services contractor, has issued a Shareholder Update to further explain previously disclosed recent material events.
SHAREHOLDER UPDATE-MAY 24, 2010
In light of the exciting events that have recently taken place with Tactical Air Defense Services, Inc. ("TADF"), TADF will be issuing a series of Shareholder Updates to summarize and clarify some of these events. We believe our shareholders are our most valuable asset, and that the better informed and educated they are about our business, the more they will believe in and support the future success of TADF in the same they way that TADF management does.
This first Shareholder Update will attempt to clarify and explain the implications of the most recent material event to take place; the execution of a Letter of Intent for TADF to acquire (the "Acquisition") Tactical Air Support, Inc. ("TAC AIR"), as disclosed in an SEC Form 8-K filing last Friday, the 21st of May, 2010 by TADF.
TADF management believes the Acquisition of TAC AIR (www.tacticalairsupport.com) brings to TADF the ingredients to make the combined entity a dominant player in the private-sector Aerospace/Defense Services industry, an underserved industry with rapid growth potential and little competition.
Understanding who the members are of the impressive management team and employee roster that TAC AIR has assembled over the last five years, and who will in large part be running the post-Acquisition business, is the first step to understanding who we will be post-Acquisition, and what we will be capable of:
-- The President of TAC AIR, Rolland C. Thompson, who will replace Alexis
C. Korybut as CEO post-Acquisition, was, in addition to many other
significant accomplishments and leadership positions, the Commanding
Officer of TOPGUN, widely recognized as the most prestigious advanced
fighter weapons school in the world, and Commander of a Carrier Air Wing
supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.
-- The Management and Employee team of TAC AIR currently consists of 15
very accomplished and experienced military veterans who have been
leaders within the military establishment and corporate industry.
-- Please take the time to fully understand the impressive biographies of
Rolland C. Thompson and TAC AIR's management team in the bios section of
TAC AIR's website www.tacticalairsupport.com/company_bios
In addition to the all-star management team, the post-acquisition TADF brings together a very strong Board of Directors including:
-- Rolland C. Thompson, Director and Chief Executive Officer. Please see
Mr. Thompson's bio at www.tacticalairsupport.com/company_bios
-- Alexis C. Korybut, Director and Chief Financial Officer. Among other
accomplishments, Mr. Korybut is an experienced investment banker and
financial professional having worked at Salomon Brothers (now part of
Citigroup) and having built Sterling Financial Group of Companies into,
according to Inc. Magazine in 2008, the 8th fastest growing
privately-held company in the U.S. doing over $34 million in annual
revenues in only a few short years. Please see Mr. Korybut's bio on the
TADF website at www.tads-usa.com/management_alexis.html
-- General Ronald R. Fogleman (retired), Director: Among other significant
accomplishments, General Fogleman was the Chief of Staff (head) of the
U.S. Air Force, and a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Unites
States, the exclusive group of military leaders of the U.S. Armed Forces
that advises the government and the President of the United States.
Please see General Fogleman's bio on the website of the U.S. Air Force
at www.af.mil/information/bios/bio.asp?bioID=5434
In additional to its unsurpassed Management and Employee team, TAC AIR brings to post-Acquisition TADF the following significant attributes:
-- Contracts: TAC AIR has current flying and consulting contracts with the
U.S. Department of Defense and commercial customers.
-- Revenues: TAC AIR has current revenues from government and commercial
contracts.
-- Aircraft: Through its minority ownership of a related company that buys
military aircraft to lease back to TAC AIR for deployment in its flying
contracts, TAC AIR has partial ownership and use of a small but growing
fleet of military aircraft. Please see
www.tacticalairsupport.com/aircraft for details of the aircraft.
-- Pipeline: TAC AIR has a pipeline of potential contracts with both the
U.S. and foreign-allied militaries (although no assurances can be given
that any of these potential contracts will result in a final award of a
contract).
-- Trackrecord: TAC AIR has a trackrecord of operational excellence and
success.
The vision and strategy of post-Acquisition TADF is built upon the premise that the current level and business model of defense spending is unsustainable. The high-tech costs associated with the operation and maintenance of fighter aircraft, and the concurrent cost of pilot training have spiraled to staggering levels. In addition, the current practice of using U.S. military units to train international students is also taking a toll on our Armed Forces and aircraft, and has left some allied countries without access to adequate training for their Air Forces.
We believe that providing sound business principles and practices to our military and foreign-allied militaries will create tremendous efficiencies and allow badly needed cost savings. Our business model is built around austerity where the less money available to the military, the more attractive our services become because this void can only be filled by a private-sector entity with the skills, experience, and understanding of a company such as post-Acquisition TADF.
As such, our vision is simple; establish a world-class private-sector military aviation services organization providing tactical aviation training, consulting, and maintenance support for both commercial and Government/Military entities. As former TOPGUN and Air Force Weapon's School instructors, TAC AIR has taken a page from the military's handbook: become a center of excellence in all that we do.
