Leading business aircraft services
provider, Spirit Aeronautics - located in Columbus, Ohio - is celebrating its fifteenth year in business.
“When I first started Spirit Aeronautics (formerly Spirit Avionics) in 2000, I literally quit my job and took the leap of faith that it would work out,” said
Rick Ochs, Founder, Chairman &
CEO.
“It was scary. I had a wife, kids and a mortgage with no income other than what I could generate from the trunk of my car. A year later my partner and I purchased Capital Aircraft
Electronics, who I used to work for, significantly increasing our capabilities and setting the stage for continued growth. Fifteen years later, I look back and I am amazed at our good fortune
to be able not only stay to in business, but thrive and grow. It was a leap of faith with a total trust in god and I can honestly say I can’t wait to see what the next fifteen years brings!”
"Over the last fifteen years, Spirit Aeronautics has remained strong throughout the many changes in the aviation industry due to the ever changing economic climate," said
Tony Bailey,
President & COO. "I attribute our success to two things: First, a pure and complete desire to provide the best service possible for our customers. Second, we continually look for ways to
optimize our operations in every single area of the business. This

we are making a genuine effort to improve every aspect of the business." |
