As part of the unveiling of Hawker Beechcraft Corporation's (HBC) new global demonstrator fleet this week at the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE), the company today reiterated its support of the Corporate Angel Network (CAN). Each aircraft in the new demonstrator fleet proudly displays the CAN logo signifying the company's commitment to this valuable organization, which assists cancer patients in finding empty seats on corporate aircraft to meet their medical transportation needs.

"If we can provide assistance and alleviate a major concern and expense for a cancer patient that must travel a significant distance for care, we are anxious to do it," said Bob Blouin, HBC vice president, Flight Operations. "This is one of the great things the business aviation community does on a routine basis, and CAN plays a wonderful coordination role to make it happen."

Providing regular reports on the company's planned flight activity is just one of the ways HBC continues to expand its long-standing relationship with CAN. In addition, HBC's current Chairman & CEO Bill Boisture, along with its former CEO Jim Schuster, have both been active members of the CAN Board of Directors, while HBC and its predecessor companies have donated more than $250,000 to the organization since 1993.
