“We are an aircraft OEM that has much of the same capabilities of the larger OEMs such as Lockheed and Boeing when it comes to defense manufacturing and MRO capabilities (maintenance, repair, and overhauling), yet with the agility of a small business.” – Kevin Cochie, Vice President and General Manager of Defense and National Security at Erickson
