Founded in 1940 as Merrell Aviation Ground School for the express purpose of training World War II military pilots returning from active duty to adapt their flying skills to the needs of early civilian airlines, the company known today as Aviation Supplies & Academics, Inc. (ASA) has had numerous and surprising incarnations.

In 1969, the goal of franchising the popular Merrell Ground School under the name Aviation Seminars of America—or ASA—compelled the company to change its name to Northwest School of Aviation.

In 1976, the appellation Aviation Supplies and Academics replaced Aviation Seminars of America as the name to which the ASA acronym alluded. The company’s product line broadened from plotters, regulations, and training manuals to include cassette-tape courses, new books, and increasingly modern training materials. Incorporation followed in 1977, as did a principal mission shift from retail to publishing and manufacturing.

In 1984, the sale of the Aviation Training and Research, Inc. ground school and The Aviator’s Store retail enterprise allowed ASA to ply the entirety of its resources and efforts to becoming a major supplier of pilot supplies and educational material in the United States. In 1985, the company undertook a series of relocations that ultimately landed it in western Washington State.

For more than eighty-years Aviation Supplies & Academics, Inc. has provided aviation training products to student pilots, flight instructors, career aviators, aviation mechanics, air traffic controllers, remote pilots, and drone operators.
