Winner Aviation acquired

By Janice Wood · March 6, 2011 ·

Winner Aviation Corp., a full service FBO/MRO facility that has existed in the same location on the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport (YNG) in Ohio for more than 65 years., has been acquired by Rick Hale.

Hale has been involved and employed by Winner Aviation since the mid 1990s when it was owned by Aero Services International. Aero Services was later acquired by Jim Winner and the company was renamed Winner Aviation. Winner Aviation is the oldest independent factory authorized Honeywell TPE331 major service center in the world.

Hale’s educational experience includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Aviation Administration from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, coupled with a minor in Aeronautical Science and a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Youngstown State University. He has worked within most of the divisions at Aero Services International’s Youngstown location.

Winner Aviation employs 63 people and maintains more than 70,000 square feet of hangar and working space.
