100 Up for PAC-750

Pacific Aerospace has reached the production milestone of 100 PAC-750 aircraft. Based in Hamilton, New Zealand, the company is showing the latest P-750XSTOL here. With a long heritage reaching back to the Fletcher Defender light aircraft of 1951, the PAC-750 is a utility aircraft with outstanding short takeoff/landing and rough-field capability. The type has proved popular for sky-diving, and as a passenger/cargo transport in inhospitable regions in many corners of the globe. Pacific Aerospace has a joint venture with the Beijing General Aviation Company that it expects to generate sizeable orders in the near future.
