ordered the chiefs of the military to drop
the prohibition of women flying in combat missions in 1993, and in 1995, Martha
McSally became the first woman to fly in a
combat role, in Iraq. Since then, the DFC
Society has actively looked for women to
achieve the DFC.
"This is an extraordinary group of
aviation personnel covering quite a unique
spectrum of accomplishments," said Chuck
Sweeney, president and CEO of the DFC
Society. The DFC is awarded to pilots
and aircrew in all five of the U.S. military
services (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air
Force, and Coast Guard). "Recipients
represent a diversity of backgrounds,
ethnicity, rank, and gender, whose aerial
achievements are chronicled from the
chaos of combat, to epic rescues, out to
the very edges of space," according to the
DFC Society.

PS Engineering has advanced audio panels more than any other company!
With over 20 years of in-field experience, our
automatic VOX circuit (IntelliVox®) has been
considered astounding by pilots worldwide.
Having Introduced the first Bluetooth enabled
audio panel more than 10 years ago, we now
have the expertise to implement advanced
functions such as Caller ID and complete front
panel control of telephone.
Aviation Consumer called our IntelliAudio®
(True Dimensional Sound) "A Better Way" when
compared to GARMIN* 3D audio. Special thanks
to our USAF Multitalker technology for allowing
us to license their patented technology.

And since 1985, PS Engineering has always led
with the best sounding audio control systems,
no surprise, because it is an audio panel. From
the beginning, we have always understood the
importance of quality, high fidelity stereo audio.
And you can try a PMA450A if you already
own a GMA340 just by asking your local PS
Engineering dealer to participate in the Free
Flight Trial program. Within a few minutes you
can swap out the units and fly with the PMA450A
for a week or two. Like it, buy it. If it doesn't
meet your expectations just return it to your PS
Engineering dealer. It is as simple as that. The
only cost to you is if you purchase the PMA450A.

No other General Aviation Manufacturer provides more unique
solutions than PS Engineering - that's why we have one for you!
