The Air Wing responds to more than 1,900 mission requests each year.

They were very specific on the needs and specifications for their mission profile. The collaborative efforts resulted in a highly sophisticated, adaptable and manageable tool to perform the complex business of airborne surveillance.”

Metro Aviation is based in Shreveport, Louisiana and completes about 35 aircraft each year.
