"Establishing a permanent Vector Aerospace office near Fort Rucker enables us to be more proactive and responsive to our customer's requirements.

Our new location enables us to enhance our customer contact and increase the flow of two-way communications; elements that are essential to improving overall customer satisfaction and value."
In October of 2009, Vector was awarded a subcontract to perform the plastic media strip, aircraft inspection and painting of twenty-five TH-67 helicopters operating out of the Fort Rucker Army Airfield. In addition, Vector was granted approval to complete aircraft structural overhauls on two heavily damaged TH-67 helicopters at its Andalusia, Alabama repair and overhaul facility.
