MRO Profile: Winner Aviation
Ohio facility specializes in turboprop aircraft and engines.

Winner Aviation’s roots date back to 1946, when Beckett Aviation opened its doors to the Youngstown, Ohio flying community. The new company was located on Youngstown Municipal Airport, in Vienna, Ohio. One of the last federal Works Progress Administration projects, the airport opened in 1940 and would eventually be known as Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport.

During the 1950s and 60s, Beckett Aviation operated the largest fleet of privately owned aircraft in the country and grew to having eight FBO locations throughout the country before being sold. The Youngstown operation was Beckett Aviation’s headquarters.
