Brief History
Founded in 1980 by aviation veterans shortly after Mather AFB closed in 1993, Mather Aviation grew from a small piston/turboprop shop into a factory-authorized service center for Cessna Citation, Beechcraft King Air, and multiple avionics brands. Today the 80,000+ sq ft complex includes dedicated heavy-maintenance hangars, NDT shops, composite repair, and one of the largest independent parts inventories on the West Coast.
