 Our current initiatives include the development of a next-generation line of replica P-51 Mustangs and a two-seat light sport aircraft, building upon the legacy of the renowned T-51 Mustang and the Tornado. These aircraft are designed to honor the spirit of classic aviation while integrating modern advancements in safety, performance, and materials.

Maintenance

We provide comprehensive maintenance services for General Aviation, Agricultural, and Vintage/Warbird Aircraft, with a commitment to quality, reliability, and safety at the core of everything we do. Our primary focus is supporting General Aviation operators with meticulous scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, ensuring every aircraft we service performs safely, efficiently, and dependably. For Agricultural operators, we understand the demands of a short flying season and deliver rapid, thorough maintenance to keep your aircraft working safely and consistently when it matters most. And for Vintage and Warbird Aircraft, we combine precision craftsmanship with deep respect for their heritage, offering specialized care that preserves both their authenticity and airworthiness.
