First K45K delivered

After years of development the second generation K45C/K Falcon has finally been delivered to the Clone Defence Forces. The first navalised K45K was received by the Clone Navy yesterday. It will be joined by 2 other planes at the end of the month. The Clone Naval Air Service (CNAS) will begin test flights in early September following engineering and ground crew familiarisation training and tests.

The first carrier landings will take place in the Autumn. The CNAS is hoping to have the first 6 in an operational flight by the end of the year and will embark on one of its carriers in early 2114.
