March 22, 2005 (by Lieven Dewitte) - AAR Corp., a provider of overhaul and manufacturing services for the aviation industry, announced it received a contract from the Air Force to overhaul selected augmentor module components for Pratt & Whitney F100 engines.
The contract is for a one-year program with four one-year renewal options and has a potential value of $18.3 million over five years.
