Be a Part of History
Canada’s military aircrew training has a storied history of excellence, and the FAcT Program is set to continue this legacy, especially as the Royal Canadian Air Force celebrates its 100th anniversary. By joining KF Aerospace and the SkyAlyne team, you’ll play a vital role in writing the next chapter of this proud history.
If you’re a retiring CAF aerospace engineer looking for your next challenge, the FAcT Program with KF Aerospace and SkyAlyne offers a unique opportunity to continue serving your country in a meaningful and impactful way.
