In 1997, after realizing how terribly under represented die-cast model planes were in the market place, I launched this so-called "hobby business" to sell pieces mainly from my personal collection to the public, in hopes of generating a little more income and shedding light on this undervalued industry in the field of aviation.
Having been raised by an Eastern Airlines pilot, I think it is evident where my aviation obsession comes from. Half way through my career as a pilot for Fed Ex, I took my fascination to the next level with Aiken's Airplanes.
This enthusiasm is what brought my wife and I to this airplane business, and will hopefully continue for generations to come. Our primary focus is to have fun along the way and to promote beautifully crafted airplane collectibles, which only become more valuable with time.
It is always encouraging to meet other aviation enthusiasts who share their experiences and exciting tales. We sincerely hope you enjoy collecting these prized pieces as much as we do and that ordering with us is just as exemplary! Best wishes, and please provide any feedback you might have in order for us to better meet your expectations!
Gotta fly,
