Our hanger is a fully functioning maintenance and restoration facility.
Our workshops can totally rebuild planes to their original glory and remake them functional flying aircraft.
Sand Blasting and refinishing vintage parts is essential in maintaining theses planes, Sourcing new or recycled components is also a constant challenge.
Our wood workshop gives us the ability to recreate many types of vintage aircraft.
Metal Bending and shaping equipment and the know how to use it is essential in rebuilding planes to flying condition.
Our simple Spray booth does its job. We take great effort that the booth and the spray suit conform with OSHA guidelines.
Planes are stripped down to their original frames and re-primed.
Our BT-13 is slowly coming together again after being totally taken apart. Soon it will be in flying condition again.
Our restorative efforts include other vintage military equipment like this jeep.
Our Historic WWII Hanger provides a great backdrop for historical themed events.
Our hanger also serves as a great venue for entertaining our local community. Our annual Veterans Day Dinner Dance has become part of the San Marcos social scene,
