Kelowna Flightcraft will place a $3.2 million order for seven Beech King Air C90B twin turboprops and a $7.5 million order for nine Grob G120A single-engined trainers after winning the C$1.7 billion ($1.4 billion) contract to provide primary flight training for the Canadian Forces over the next 22 years (Flight International, 29 March–4 April).
