De Havilland Aircraft of Canada announced yesterday that it will construct a manufacturing complex in Wheatland County, Alberta, about 30 minutes east of Calgary. Named De Havilland Field, the 15-acre site will serve as the final assembly for the DHC-515 Firefighter aircraft launched earlier this year, DHC-6 Twin Otter, and Dash 8-400, the latter two of which the company is working to bring back into production.
