Aircraft Spruce celebrates 45 years

By Janice Wood · March 10, 2010 ·

Aircraft Spruce is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year.

acsredblueThe company began in 1965, when Flo Irwin began cutting up Sitka Spruce in her garage. What began locally soon took on a national scope and today responds to aircraft builders’ and restorers’ needs from around the globe. Today’s Aircraft Spruce parts catalog (available in hard copy format, CD, and on-line) details a vast assortment of materials, tools, books, avionics, pilot supplies and hardware, as well as plans for 35 different scratch-build projects.

Aircraft Spruce has three distribution centers: Corona, California, Peachtree City, Georgia, and Brantford, Ontario Canada. There are also more than 55 Aircraft Spruce International Representatives who can help expedite orders and customs clearance in overseas countries.

For more information: 877-477-7823 or AircraftSpruce.com.
