Elbit Systems Introduces IMOD Future Trainer Aircraft Program

Elbit Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) have teamed up to establish and operate a new flight training center to train Israeli Air Force pilots with the Aermacchi M3461 training aircraft.

Advanced Flight Training (TOR) is a new ground-based flight training center based in Israel that is expected to begin operation in mid-2014, Elbit said. The center will feature airborne training with the Elbit Embedded Virtual Avionics (EVA) system, which provides training for operating radar optical sensors, early warning systems, virtual weapons training and more.

"Once again, Elbit Systems is honored to play a part in the training of the IAF’s flight school. The selection of this array of flight trainers and simulators for the IAF's new trainer aircraft is yet another votefifth best 2-year-old we had last year for Mr. Oxley. “

Prospective likely will return to the track Monday, Casse said, and will school in the paddock during the live races sometime later this week.

“And he did it like a pro,” said Christina Jelm, who is pinch-hitting for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer who is scheduled to fly to Louisville Monday. Jelm lives in Midway, Ky., and occasionally serves as an assistant to Hollendorfer when he sends horses to Kentucky. She also advises him occasionally on bloodstock matters.

Jelm also sent the colt to the paddock for some schooling.
