About Us

The owner began his aircraft maintenance trade in the military working on Beechcraft King Air's (C-12/U21) in Europe, later working heavy maintenance and then shifting to avionics on FAA Part 121 aircraft out of Seattle Washington. After working at the airlines he went to Beechcraft Aerospace Services, Inc (BASI) and worked Europe, Middle-East, and Africa. During this period he created a software suite to manage Beechcraft King Air's (C-12/U-21), and later Learjet's (35A) for all four United States military services: Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marines. The software he wrote first entered service in 1992 as a simple Time Limit Maintenance Check (TLMC) manager that helped track and forecast scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, and standardized all TLMC items across a fleet that spanned hundreds of aircraft. Inventory management was later added to automate repetitive tasks needed to track and manage parts flowing into and out of field site across the globe. The final step was to enable bidirectional communication from site to home office; a very simple task today, but quite difficult in the mid 1990's with a geographically dispersed fleet using modems daisy-chained for communication routing. Along the way he earned 2 degrees with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, a Bachelor of Science degree in Aircraft Maintenance, and a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) degree, his Private Pilots ticket with endorsements for High Performance, Complex, and Tailwheel. Later, he bought two classic aircraft, a '47 Cessna 140 and a '48 Navion that he uses for FAA Part 61 endorsement training. The owner is an A&P with IA privileges having been in the aircraft industry since '78.
