Blaine Kurtz, director of aerospace and defense for Logistics Plus, recently attended the U.S. Army Global Force Symposium in Huntsville, Alabama. The conference provided an opportunity to explore and showcase ground-breaking ways that Army personnel are filtering the structure, processes, and governance of its modernization enterprise. The theme for this year’s event “Modernizing and Equipping America’s Army for Today and Tomorrow” created an emphasis on discussing challenges facing the Army as it advances its soldiers and equipment to uphold present and future missions. Blaine had many interactions with numerous organizations operating in the aerospace, aviation and defense industries to deepen our understanding of their supply chain needs. There was also a services overview for the U.S. Army Aviation Missile Command (AMCOM). Shown below are some photographs taken at the conference.
The Logistics Plus India division is an exclusive member of the U.S.-India Aviation Cooperation Program (ACP). Yesterday Sundreysh Sarup, Managing Director for LP India, attended an evening event that included Hon Minister of State Mr. Jayant Sinha, and senior officials from the U.S. Embassy. Sundreysh was joined by fellow LP India colleagues Ankush Rajurkar and Suraj Joshi for the evening. Here is a group photograph from the event:
The U.S-India Aviation Cooperation Program (ACP) is a unique bilateral public-private partnership launched in 2007 between the U.S. Trade Development Agency (USTDA), the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and U.S. aviation companies, has been established to provide a forum for unified communication between the Government of India and U.S. public and private sector entities in India. Under this public-private partnership, USTDA has sponsored a conference in New Delhi, a multi-phase Air Traffic Management Training Program, and technical workshops on certification of India’s satellite navigation system, GAGAN, and Air Traffic Flow Management practices. New projects include a Helicopter Aviation Safety and Aviation Standards and Processes technical assistance program for the Directorate General of Civil Aviation.
Blaine Kurtz, director of aerospace and defense for Logistics Plus, recently attended two major government events: the U.S. Air Force Association Annual National Convention and the U.S. Modern Day Marine Expo. By all accounts, both events were well-attended and Logistics Plus was successful in strengthening our ties with key government and military logistics professionals. Here are a few photos taken by Blaine at the two events.

The Thunderbirds soared into the sky over North Texas at this weekend’s Fort Worth Alliance Air Show where, reportedly, more than 120,000 people were in attendance. Logistics Plus employees at the Dallas-Fort Worth Warehouse got a firsthand glimpse – and some amazing photos (see below) – as U.S. Air Force’s aerobatics squadron screamed across the overhead skies.
More than 120 enlisted personnel, representing nearly 30 career fields, form the backbone of the Thunderbirds. Enlisted team members are selected from units across the Air Force in a highly competitive hiring process. While each position has its various selection requirements, all eligible candidates must show a proven record of success and extensive job proficiency. The last time the Thunderbirds flew, in an extremely rare incident, one of their jets crashed minutes after finishing up an air show over the Air Force Academy graduation in Colorado Springs. The pilot ejected and was unhurt, and no one one the ground was injured because he crash-landed in a field.
Shown below is a video slideshow of the USAF Thunderbirds performance at the Fort Worth Alliance Air Show.
