has been in continuous production
since 1964. Beechcraft and P&WC
share a remarkable history together
that has made the two companies
leaders in their fields. For decades,
our teams have worked side by side
to provide products that perform
flawlessly day after day, often in
very challenging environments,"
said Bill Boisture, Chief Executive
Officer, Beechcraft Corporation.
Since the delivery of its first
PT6 engine to Beechcraft, a
PT6A-6 to power the King Air 90,
P&WC's PT6 engine has become
the most popular engine in all
market segments of aviation. It can
be found on aircraft that fly into
the largest airports in the world
and to places where most others
cannot, or dare not go, such as the
deepest jungles of South America,
the most hostile desert climates of
Africa, the highest mountains of
Asia and the farthest reaches of
Antarctica. Today, PT6 engines can
be found on aircraft all over the
world carrying out a wide range of
vital missions, from relief work to
scheduled passenger service, cargo
transport to VIP travel, agricultural
spraying to military pilot training,
firefighting and search and rescue.
From one corner of the earth to
another, PT6-powered aircraft are
making a difference, changing
lives, allowing people to live their
passions and creating stories.
"The simplicity of design,
versatility and dependability of
the PT6 engine have made it one
of the most enduring engines
in aviation history," says Denis
Parisien, P&WC's Vice President,
Killick Aerospace has announced
that it has completed a
comprehensive series of financings
totalling $160 million. The
transactions were comprised of:
- a new and enlarged senior
banking facility led by the Bank
of Nova Scotia's asset lending
group - Roynat Asset Finance
with participation by Frost
Bank (Capital Group) and PNC
Bank, National Association.
- a subordinated loan from
Killick Capital.
- a partnership investment
by Alaris Royalty Corp.
in Killick Capital.
Proceeds will be used to
retire existing debt as well
as fund continued growth at
Prime Turbines, CT Aerospace
and Kansas Aviation. The
increased capital will also
enable Killick Aerospace to
complete selected acquisitions
in order to compliment existing
product and service offerings
to our global customer base.
Russell Starr, President and CEO
of Killick Aerospace commented
"The completion of these
transactions represents a milestone
in the development of the Killick
Aerospace Group of Companies.
The significant increase in our
Killick Aerospace completes $160 Million financing
General Aviation. "There are
likely few technological concepts
invented 50 years ago that remain
as relevant today as the PT6
engine, nor any that continue to
have such a promising future.
This engine family is one of
our great success stories and in
a sense has made us what we
are today. To mark this historic
milestone, our team developed a
video, available on PT6Nation or
on YouTube, which shows what
makes the PT6 engine a legend
in the aviation industry today." ·
balance sheet will allow us to acquire
more inventories including whole
engines and aircraft to better serve
our customers. It will also allow
us to continue to invest in product
development at our Prime and
Kansas subsidiaries. Additionally,
Killick Aerospace is pursuing
selected complementary acquisitions
to further enhance our total package
of products and services."
