rural_airportSo what do you think… is it about time for the U.S. Senate to start lending their support to general aviation?

Read the entire “Dear Colleague” letter that was sent to Senate members on Monday.

In May and June of next year (2010) the TIGHAR team is headed back to Nikumaroro in the hopes of recovering artifacts that can be linked to Amelia Earhart using DNA.

While these two recent purchases from Pearson Air and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Government Services are probably of most interest to FBO’s (Fixed Base Operators) and repair stations, having such a wide variety of available general aviation aircraft parts allows KRN to serve a wide range of aircraft parts customers.  In combination with their dedication to customer service, having a vast and searchable inventory of aircraft parts continues to set KRN Aviation Services apart from their competitors.

Of course, purchasing aircraft parts inventory is nothing new to Karl and the KRN Aviation Services team.  Karl is available to fly out at “a moment’s notice” to look at large inventories and on average over the last 15 years, KRN has purchased 1.5 inventories per month.  When looking for available aircraft part inventories KRN is interested in large inventories of 1,000 line items or more of Turbine, Biz Jet and general aviation Cessna, Piper and Beechcraft parts.

If you are interested in finding out more about KRN’s recent inventory purchases call the KRN Aviation Services team toll-free (in the U.S.) at 1.800.366.6462.  Local and international customers can call 480.753.0752. Or you can search the KRN aircraft parts inventory online at KRN.com.  If you have an inventory you are interested in selling to KRN, contact President Karl Kern today via phone or email.
