Members of the elite 101st Airborne, who had operated the cabin heating system throughout the winter during their deployment to Afghanistan two years ago, have formally recognized Air Comm for exceptional performance through a commendation certificate and mission flag.“Since Air Comm Corp. has been working with Sikorsky to deliver the cabin heating system for their BLACK HAWK helicopters, we have never had a quality rejection or late delivery,” said Keith Steiner, president of Air Comm Corp. “We’re dedicated to providing products that are reliable, efficient and perform exceptionally well, even in the most extreme conditions. We’re very proud of the fact that we’ve reached the milestone of delivering our 1000th unit and are looking forward to delivering many more.”
