A few months ago, Head-start Aviation Systems has completed the return of a Gulfstream 4 on the behalf of one of our client to the lease company (lessor).

This project involved double engine overhauls, a partial exterior paint, 24 months inspection and finally a change of registration between the Bermuda DCA and the FAA. Additionally we were instrumental in transferring a Paid by the Hour Maintenance (JSSI) contract to the lessor.

Head-start has been selected for the supervision of the certificate of airworthiness issuance, cabin completion, exterior paint and registration process with the Bermuda Authorities for this brand new Learjet 60XR. The aircraft will be operated on the European theater.

Head-start Aviation Systems will be engaged in a large project involving the completion and delivery of 2 new Boeing Dreamliner's 787-8. We shall be a major player in this venture involving many cultures from different continents.
Head-start Aviation Systems will be involved from participating into the final cabin configuration, selection of tenders, monitoring and cabin modification/quality process and certification/registration matters.

Philippe Dafflon has been deeply involved in this complete restoration since its inception in 1999. This true restoration as opposed to rebuilt, which begun in 2000 in the U.K. is getting into its final stage. The Merlin 35 engine overhaul was also completed in the U.K.

This aircraft built in 1942 was used for training during the Second World War before being de-commissioned at the end of the conflict. It was re-assembled and flown for the film "The Battle of Britain".
