Wicks Aircraft Supply Opens West Coast Facility

Grand Opening At Arlington 2006

Aero-News has learned aircraft parts supplier Wicks Aircraft Supply will soon open a new, west-coast facility at the Arlington Sport Aviation Park in Arlington, WA. Of course, that venue is home to the second largest EAA fly-in -- the Arlington Fly-In.

Fittingly, Wicks will host its grand opening celebration of the west coast facility during the Fly-In event, July 5- 9, 2006.

In response to the company's growing west coast market, Wicks already opened a phone center in Arlington at the beginning of the year. To keep up with the increased demand, however, Wicks will be expanding their space and opening an aircraft supply center at the Arlington Airport.

"Wicks Aircraft Supply has been helping aviators build the aircraft of their dreams for over 30 years", said company vice president Scott Wick to ANN. "Arlington is a very active aviation community, not just during the Fly-In but all year round. Our commitment to serving the growing Sport Pilot industry makes this a perfect place for our west coast expansion."

The Wicks West Aircraft Supply will be open during the Fly-In, and invites all the attendees to come by for coffee and a free gift. All orders placed during Arlington Fly-In will receive a special discount, as well as free shipping.

Wicks began as part of Wicks Organ Company over 30 years ago, in 1974. Wicks made their initial mark in the aviation world by building a KR-2 in 74 days, and flying up to Oshkosh in 1974 for the EAA convention. The little low-wing plane was made from the supplies that Wicks sold, including the spruce and a line of composite products.

The company specializes in the needs of the homebuilder.
