MILITARY & TESTING

HIGH-ALTITUDE TESTING

CCRA features optimal facilities for both short- and long-term military and high-altitude aircraft testing programs. Military bases throughout the region fly in Chinooks, Black Hawks, Apaches, and other aircraft throughout the year, and CCRA regularly serves as an operational base for high-altitude testing conducted by Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Bell Helicopter, AgustaWestland, and others.

CCRA is proud to support the efforts of the Colorado Army National Guard (ARNG)’s High-altitude ARNG Aviation Training Site (HAATS) pilots who use our facility throughout the year for training intended to prepare pilots for the challenges of flying in high-density altitude conditions combined with mountainous terrain.

PRICING

In addition to a break on fuel for military use, we also waive call-out fees for military customers (an $85/hour savings).
