Weco Owner Convicted of Fraudulent Repairs

A federal jury has found William Hugh Weygandt, 64, of Granite Bay, Calif., guilty of a conspiracy to commit fraud involving aircraft parts repair. The verdict followed a three-week jury trial before U.S. District Court Eastern District of California. Weygandt is the former owner and president of Weco Aerospace Systems, an FAA FAR Part 145 repair station with facilities in Lincoln and Burbank, Calif. In January 2007, Weygandt sold Weco to Gulfstream Aerospace, which retained Weygandt as president until Feb. 1, 2008. A spokesman for Gulfstream Aerospace told AIN Weygandt is no longer associated with the operation and had no more comment on the situation. Attempts to locate Weygandt for comment were unsuccessful.
