Brown Aircraft Supply

Brown Aircraft Supply, Inc. is an aircraft parts and maintenance supplies retailer in Jacksonville, Florida, established in 1962. It sells online and by phone to private pilots, small aircraft mechanics, FBOs and private and municipal airports, with dealer pricing for FBOs and a PDF catalogue on the site.

History

The company began in 1962 as an aerial photography and banner towing business run by Clarence Brown and Bob Franke under the name Brown Franke Enterprises. Clarence Brown flew an Aeronca Champ over construction sites and events across the Southeast and gave traffic reports for a Jacksonville radio station. After a crash, the business became an FAA repair station specialising in tyre recapping, and later moved into aircraft supplies.
