OARS is the only AAR source which owns approved aircraft with Navy Interim Flight Clearances and Federal Aviation Administration Airworthiness Certificates that can continue performance during this ordering period of AAR missions without an unacceptable delay or interruption to the Fleet.
Great thanks for the tip. Hopefully soon the Navy will stop writing that into it's contracts TMPS hopes bid on and win.
"Please be advised that a competitive follow-on effort procurement is ongoing with a planned award in March 2019."
The Navy did not have to say the above and the fact that they did indicates to me that it is inevitable we get a contract when we are capable of handling this which we may be already! Why would we apply if we were not! This will be an exciting year ahead and beyond! Great tell tale sign! This is looking more promising. Have a great weekend everyone!
