Highlands Aviation

Highlands Aviation is an aircraft painting and refurbishment shop in Avon Park, Florida. The site says it has painted aircraft since 1974. It calls itself the oldest continuously owned and operated aircraft painting center on the east coast.

The shop paints private aircraft and business jets, inside and out. It also does interior upgrades. Its technicians work on composite repair, and the shop uses computer aided design to help owners pick a paint scheme. The site says a mid-size business jet takes an average of 2,500 to 3,000 man hours.

Aircraft shown in its work include a Hawker 800, a Cessna Citation XL, a Cessna Citation 3, a Cessna 310, a Beechcraft Baron and an F4U-5 Corsair. The site also has a page for helicopters. It says the shop is an approved vendor for Bombardier, Textron and Dahar. Its central Florida location is described as a handy stop for jets, planes and helicopters on the east coast.

The company says it keeps costs low by not stocking unrelated parts and materials. It says it guards its work against defects for a full year. Quotes from clients on the site come from Jet Budget and Jet Sales Group.
