FBO Profile: Yingling Aviation
The FBO at the center of the country has grown with the times.
Recent upgrades to the 15,000-sq-ft terminal at Yingling Aviation include the addition of the comfortable “Vertigo” lounge–with a snooze room and flight-planning room–for pilots and crewmembers. An additional flight-planning room is located near the lobby’s fuel desk.

When Wichita Mid-Continent Airport (to be officially renamed Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport in March) opened its doors in 1954, Yingling Aviation was the first company to set up shop, providing aircraft handling and maintenance services. The company began operations six years earlier at the former Wichita Municipal Airport but was forced, along with the rest of the civilian aviation operations, to relocate when the military annexed the airport to create what is now known as McConnell Air Force Base.
