About us

Why Fly with me?

If you want someone who knows what they’re doing and won’t overcharge or take

We make components better than even when they were new.

Many restoration shops or mechanics might shy away from vintage aircraft or complex materials like fiberglass, aluminum, or ABS plastic. This is something you won’t find at Horne Aviation because we specialize in the niche areas that others avoid. If you’re someone who is thinking of restoring a 1960s Piper or a modern composite aircraft, give us a consultation call now.
