Aircraft Maintenance Technology - 17

King Aerospace leverages
nearly 30 years of
experience to modify and
maintain military fleets.

he U.S. military increasingly turns to
civilian maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facilities to modify and
maintain aircraft and keep its fleet
operationally ready. But the military
does not send this work to just any
MRO. Custom military interior and
exterior modifications require an experienced
MRO equipped to modify and maintain aircraft
to exacting military standards.

28-year-old company started by his father, Jerry King,

He says King Aerospace
provides high-level aircraft support services to
both domestic and foreign
governments and military
organizations. The Addison,
Texas-headquartered company designs, develops and
modifies special-mission

The company also manages and maintains government-owned aircraft fleets and subcontracts work
from major defense contractors. And, King Aerospace
As a subcontractor for Northrop Grumman, King

of highly modified turboprop aircraft used for
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.
