Textron Aviation announced

to Australian aviation service company Skytraders, which will operate
and maintain the aircraft on behalf of Victoria Police.
The Beechcraft King Air 350ER is
designed and manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc.
The King Air 350ER will primarily

“By integrating the King Air 350ER
into their fleet, Victoria Police Air Wing greatly enhances the
capabilities of the professionals who respond to more than 5,000
taskings every year,” said Bob Gibbs, vice president, Special
Mission Sales for Textron Aviation.
The custom-configured mission package
for Victoria Police includes advanced mission management system,
ground moving target indicator object detection, Tactical Flight
Officer workstations, tactical radios, satellite communications and a
