Cross Country RV Trip!

Ferrying an RV-12 From Oregon to Florida

Havens Aero was honored to get the call from Brian, a former ferry client, to deliver this new to him RV-12 to Florida. While his 182 turned into a flip rather than training tool, Brian had just completed his sport pilot rating and was excited to get his hands on an airplane for himself. This RV-12 was built by Dan (near Portland) with care and precision then painted with an incredible custom out-of-this-world livery. Come along for the three day journey massaged and pushed by weather in this blue sky flyer.

I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing… on this aircraft acceptance from Aerosmith Aviation

Posted on by Jacob Havens

I got some Sweet Emotion’s when Zach asked me to take on the task of accepting the new-to-him Piper Lance from paint/interior/avionics work at Aerosmith Aviation. With a Wednesday arrival, I was able to spend an afternoon going over the details of the airplane, noting some final items and flying the aircraft on a few approaches to verify all systems go. I thought this would end up being a simple trip but had to Dream On; read more to Chip Away The Stone that is this story!

Grasshopping an L-16B from Ohio to Texas

Posted on by Jacob Havens

After spending its recent years parked in Central Ohio, it was time for this L-16B to venture west to be enjoyed by its new caretaker near Lubbock, Texas! Jay was wonderful to work with, and will be keeping the airplane in great company at a small local airport with big things happening. From light jet traffic to yearly glider training for the Air Force Academy, this legacy Army livery should turn some heads!

Reunited with his Cessna 140

Posted on by Jacob Havens

A few years ago, Mike owned N72885 but had to part ways… until now! This 1946 Cessna 140 spent a few years living in the Midwest before making the journey back out to Phoenix. Although weather made for some longer days than planned, this Cessna 140 was safely reunited on budget to a thrilled owner!
