Last year in September, we showed you how the BDF's Pilots were getting training to fly the 3 Helicopters that they currently own. They are preparing to provide the Belize military with their own air support, and the BDF announced today that the trainees are now graduates.
On this coming Friday, The Ministry of Defense will hold a graduation ceremony to recognize 4 BDF pilots and 13 technicians who have completed the helicopter conversion training.
At that ceremony, the pilots and the technicians will demonstrate the lessons they've learned in the 3-million-dollar helicopter course that the Belize Aviation Company has been providing to them. These graduates will make up the Airwing's Helicopter crew, which will allow the BDF to rapidly deploy troops to remote parts of the country that would normally take them days to travel to by foot.
