Welcome to our website!
King Aero Aviation, Inc. was formed in 1991 offering General Aviation Services and restorations. While I specialize in steel tube and fabric repairs,
restorations and recovering, I have over 50 years of experience in the maintenance and repair of all kinds of aircraft. Light twins, complex single engine,
Cessna, Piper and Beechcraft , all the way to LSA and Ultralights, I have worked on most makes and models.
I started as an aviation apprentice in 1968, when I was just 12 years old. In high school, I was the only sophomore ever allowed into a senior auto
mechanics program in the history of Elkhart High School. I overhauled an aircraft engine (A-65 Continental), while all the senior auto mechanic students
were working on cars. I soloed at 16 and had my private not long after. I constructed my first home built while still in high school.....
I learned how to do covering during my teenage years. I worked, with Ray Stits, as a representative of the local Stits Distributor, Harold Koheler, each
summer in the Stits booth and display tent at the EAA Annual Convention in Oshkosh Wisconsin. This occurred from the time I was 14 until the age of 19. I
repaired many damaged aircraft during the annual convention. I covered the EAA Biplane that resides in the EAA Museum in Oshkosh. I have covered
some 28+ aircraft over the years, not counting the individual parts and repairs in between.
