Flightcraft reflects its proud history of service in the northwest

Flightcraft began operations in 1948, the year after the introduction of the Bonanza, and was one of the early stars in the Beechcraft dealer constellation. At one time there were as many as five Flightcraft locations, all with solid markets for the entire line of Beech products. In the 1980s, Flightcraft was owned by a partnership that included David Hinson, who would later go on to become FAA Administrator.

Current Flightcraft president Phil Botana said, “About 16 years ago, the partnership decided to get out of the business, and sold Flightcraft to Beech Holdings, which kept the company for a year or less. It’s likely the company management wanted to be in control of who ultimately took over the dealership.”
