Lortie Aviation

Lortie Aviation is a Canadian company that provides tactical combat training with Hawker Hunter aircraft. It is based in Ste-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier, Quebec. The site says the company provides this training to the armed forces of Canada, France and the United States.

The site says its specially modified Hunters are a cost effective alternative to using military aircraft for combat training. Customers can reduce or avoid operating military aircraft and keep their own military staff on primary duties. The company says the training value is equal or better than other options.

The Hunters provide high speed attacks, missile simulations, target towing and electronic warfare training. They can replicate adversary roles for today's fighters, such as radar intercept targets and attack aircraft. Forward air controllers can train for more than two hours per sortie.

The company says it has flown more than 67,000 hours in Hunters since 2002. Its pilots are former military NATO fighter pilots. The site says the team can take part in military exercises of any size and carry out requested tactics.

The site says the team can deploy as a self-sufficient force with long endurance aircraft. It has taken part in combat training exercises for army, navy and air forces across Canada and the United States. It also lists work in Europe, the Far East and the Pacific.

The site has a gallery, a training page and an experience page. The contact page lists a phone number, a fax number and a mailing address at 130 rue Tibo. The page says personal information is processed under the company's policy.
