By General Aviation News Staff · February 23, 2015 ·

Wipaire has added Viking and de Havilland Twin Otter expertise with the hiring of Ted Delgado, who will be based at Wipaire’s Leesburg, Florida, service center.

“Ted brings a vast amount of Twin Otter experience to our Florida facility,” said Paul Wells, Vice President of Aircraft Services. “His skills and connections have been built nearly 30 years in the industry, with 20 years of Twin Otter-specific experience, and we look forward to having him at our Leesburg service center.”

Ted is a seasoned airframe and powerplant mechanic with nearly 30 years of aviation experience. His skills include maintenance management, government contracting, as well as hands-on maintenance. He has gained international regard for his work as a traveling contract mechanic, and also served as Director of Maintenance for Seaborne Airlines.

“I’ve been around the world several times now,” he said. “I’m looking forward to settling down and staying in one place, and this opportunity is just perfect for me.”

Ted will be attending Wipaire’s grand opening celebration at Leesburg on Feb 28. For more information on the event and to RSVP, go to Wipaire.com/Grand-Opening.
