SkyTrac Tracks President Clinton In Africa


Clinton and Chelsea The responsibility of ensuring the whereabouts of an American President is huge, and Everett Aviation of Africa recently found themselves with that task using the technology of SkyTrac Systems for satcom solutions for data, text, and voice communications. The high profile flight during a recent VIP trip in Ethiopia of President Bill Clinton and his daughter Chelsea was followed by the Secret Service to view the flight data of the aircraft during the entire flight in real time using SkyTrac's web based asset management, mapping, and reporting.

Simon Everett of Everett Aviation commented; “We are thrilled that SkyTrac provides the tools that enable us to provide third party viewing. We are quickly and easily able to create new user accounts, assign certain aircraft to those accounts, and provide our clients access to view that data. The secret service commented on how reliable the SkyTrac service was; they were able to track the progress of the President and his daughter at all times during flights all through Africa."
