General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc (GA-ASI) hosted a grand opening event on 9 August 2023 to mark the opening of its newest hangar at the Grand Sky Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Business Park near Grand Forks, North Dakota. The event included a ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the opening of the new hangar at the company’s Flight Test & Training Center (FTTC).
The new hangar will be used for international crew training, aircraft storage, aircraft maintenance and will house two GA-ASI Certified Ground Control Stations (CGCSs) with room to add additional CGCSs as required. The FTTC opened in 2016.
“We’re excited to open another permanent hangar at our Flight Test & Training Center in North Dakota,” GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue was quoted as saying in a company press release. “The new hangar represents our ongoing investment in test and training capabilities that provide our customers with a world-class facility to train aircrews in the operation of our aircraft.”
