The RADA Advanced Israel Air Force A-4 "Skyhawk" Aircraft Successfully Performs
its Inaugural Flight
Wednesday December 8, 10:31 am ET
NETANYA, Israel, December 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RADA Electronic Industries
Ltd. (NASDAQ: RADIF - News) announced today that the first upgraded Israel Air
Force (IAF) A-4 "Skyhawk" has successfully completed its inaugural flight. This
critical milestone of the program was accomplished within a tightly planned
schedule of only 11 months following the program initiation. The A-4 "Skyhawk"
is the IAF's advanced trainer used in the flight academy and as a lead-in
fighter trainer for both the modern fighters (F-15 and F-16).
The program, activated on January 1st, 2004, includes replacements of out-dated
avionic units onboard the aircraft with newly designed equipment. The
modernization aims at improving the training environment of air cadets flying
the aircraft, enables a complete debrief of each flight using 3 dimensional
graphic displays synchronized with video and audio recordings, while
significantly reducing the aircraft's cost of ownership.
The flight testing phase is scheduled to be completed within 3 months; with
serial production and installation continuing until the third quarter of 2005.
RADA's President, Brig. Gen (Res.) Herzle Bodinger, a former IAF Commander and
former IAF Flight Academy Commander, commented on the successful flight: "We
have justified the confidence the IAF and Ministry of Defense have put in RADA,
by selecting and trusting us to perform this task. We thank the IAF and Ministry
of Defence for their cooperation and salute our partners in this venture: Israel
Aircraft Industries, Vectop and Nir Or for their outstanding performance."
Zvika Alon, RADA's V.P of Business Development, added: "This program enables
RADA to provide similar affordable solutions to other customers operating
various trainers with common needs worldwide. Our solutions allow Air Cadets to
train in an environment very similar to the one they will find later on their
flying career in most advanced fighters."
