Jim Aanes, A&P with Inspection Authorization (IA), started his aviation career in 1980 when he joined the U.S. Army as a UH1B (Heuy) helicopter mechanic. After his tour and receiving an Honorable Discharge, Jim completed his FAA A&P in 1983.

After cutting his teeth at Engine Components Northwest, Jim opened his maintenance shop on the Aurora State Airport in 1986. In 2002 Jim consolidated with Willamette Aviation Service, LLC. This move allowed him to continue the same quality of service to the local customers and provide mobile maintenance services to other local pilots.

Jim works on a wide variety of aircraft. He specializes in single engine and multi-engine general aviation planes. He uses a fully computer generated AD database to insure your aircraft is safe and legal.

He has been at Aurora Airport, with a proven reputation, for over 20 years. Maintenance is a trust thing between you and the mechanic. Jim takes that trust seriously and values the importance of your plane.
