Air Cargo Carriers’ Post

23 years ago our nation was under attack. Today we honor and remember all the brave lives lost in this tragic catastrophe. We will never forget.

50 YEARS in the sky!!! ✈ August 22, 1974, the first Shorts 330 took flight. Since that day, the Shorts have seen many different owners, but Air Cargo Carriers is proud to call them family! Numerous planes have rolled through our hanger doors since we first started back in 1986 keeping our fleet strong and dependable! Action shots of the Shorts were taken by Rafael Nieves an employee here at ACC!

On August 19th, 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt created National Aviation Day to recognize aviation's development. To all those working in, involved with or pursuing aviation, we wish you all a Happy National Aviation Day!!

We are hiring! ACC is expanding into the maintenance of Sherpa aircraft for the U.S. Forest Service in Redmond, OR and seeking entry level A&P Mechanics to grow the team. Please see the Careers section of our website to apply for immediate consideration! https://lnkd.in/gKPFypyb

That's a wrap on EAA 2024! All our team can say is "What a week!!" It was a blast to spend our time with so many aviation enthusiasts. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and wanted to learn more about our operations! We can't wait to see you again at EAA 2025!! #EAA #EAA2024 #Airventure #ACC

We are only 5 DAYS AWAY from every aviator's wonderland!! AirVenture at Oshkosh runs from July 22nd-27th. Come check us out at booth C17 in the Career Center! We'd love to talk with you about our operations!

Today marks the 80th anniversary to one of the largest invasion operations in world history. During the D-Day attack, over 4,000 soldiers were killed along with thousands more injured or missing but ended with the overtaking of the Normandy beach front, the liberation of France, and what is said to be "the beginning of the end" to WWII. Today we recognize the bravery and sacrifice that was displayed 80 years ago.

Today we honor and remember those who bravely fought for our country. Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 #memorialday #honor #military

Happy Aviation Maintenance Technician Day to all of our hard working #AMT's both here at Air Cargo Carriers and worldwide! Throughout the day and night you make our mission possible. Without you, our operation would be unsuccessful! #ACC #thankyou

Recently members of our team, Director of Training Zac Webster and future Director of Training Brody Heggerston, completed contract training for our neighbors to the north—De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited. All of which, could not have been accomplished without our competent maintenance and dispatch staff. De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited recently sent down Paul Deplaedt, and Rodger Brndjar, two skilled pilots to Air Cargo Carriers’ Headquarters in Milwaukee, WI to obtain the illustrious SD3 type-rating. Shorts Brothers PLC, or known more commonly as “Shorts”, which was founded in 1908, was a primarily government owned aerospace company that was based in Northern Ireland until being bought by Bombardier in 1989. After Bombardier, the owners of the Shorts Aircraft then became Spirit AeroSystems and Viking Air, and now today the Shorts is under the umbrella of De Havilland Aircraft of Canada, Limited. De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited has an iconic fleet, and they own and operate aircraft such as the DHC-2 Beaver, DHC-3 Otter, DHC-4 Caribou, DHC-5 Buffalo, DHC-6 Twin Otter, DHC-7 Dash 7, DHC-8 Dash 8 and the SD3-60 Sherpa. Air Cargo Carriers is the largest civilian operator of Shorts Aircraft worldwide. ACC owns and operates over 30 Shorts 360s in our fleet. Our Training Department assists government agencies and other civilian shorts operators all over the world with their training needs. It was an absolute pleasure training these individuals, and as a result, it was a great reminder that we all must work together in the Shorts community and will continue to assist De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited in whatever ways we can.
