  • 2012 Calendar and Family Album
    We wanted to share our 2012 Calendar and Family Album with everyone.  So we created a PDF version for you to enjoy.  And yes, the family pictures are of our winged family members.  We still have a limited number of the printed version available.  If you would like one, please e-mail us your mailing address and we will mail one to you free of charge.
  • Auction for Angels Event.
    On December 9, 2011 we participated in a Auction for Angels event to benefit Angel Flight West at Clover Park Technical College's South Hill Campus.  The event was sponsored by The Clover Park Technical College's Aviation Club.  Congratulations to Norm for being the successful bidder on our certificate for an oil change!    
  • We have a new address.
    No, we haven't moved, the County and Post Office wanted to keep us on our toes, so they changed all the addresses on the airport.  Our phone, fax and e-mail are staying the same.  The new address is:  10416 172nd St. E., Unit B  Puyallup, WA  98374.
  • Thinking about a get-a-way to the San Juans?
    We recommend Island Air as the easiest way to get out there.  Offering on-demand charter (Part 135), they operate a fleet of Cessna's including several 172's, 206's, and a 207.  Although they have their own A&P technician on staff, AVSTAR has worked a few of the more complex projects on some of their aircraft; and you may see their aircraft around our shop a little bit more.  Mike was named their Director of Maintenance on January 1, 2009.
  • New product now offered at AVSTAR!   MTN View Aviation of Hubbard, OR, has received FAA-STC approval of their Door Steward for the Beech 33, 35, 36, 55, 56, 58 (unpressurized), and 95 series aircraft.  This unit is a vast improvement over the factory door stop.  We have already installed two of these units, and they work great!  List price for the Beech models listed is $210.00.  ABS and AOPA members get a 5% discount.  We have the Beech kits in stock, so drop a hint to your flying partner for a stocking-stuffer this year.  Mtn View Aviation started this product for the Cessna's, and most single engine models are approved.  Call AVSTAR for a brochure, or view them on-line at www.mtnviewaviation.com.  For the Bonanza installation on 891JH, click here.
  • 891JH Project News891JH's First Flight in 25 Years!
    891JH is flying!
    After 25 years on the ground (Mike's only had her for 5 of those years) and a complete restoration, she took to the air again with beauty and grace.  We'll be posting new project pictures soon.  In the meantime, check out our  project archive page for a link to her equipment list and previous articles about her progress.
