History of McFarlane The founder, Dave McFarlane, created McFarlane Aviation in 1970. The company was created to provide aircraft repair and restoration part-time while Dave focused on agricultural aviation activities in Mississippi, Arkansas and Iowa. In 1979 Dave bought the Vinland Valley Aerodrome (K64) in Baldwin City, KS and moved the company there, where it is located today. The runway was built in a beautiful valley on the old railroad right-of-way in Vinland, Kansas, a pioneer ghost town. A few old store buildings, two old churches, several houses and the oldest library in Kansas are all that remains of the once thriving frontier settlement. The area provides a perfect setting for our business. Dave has built the company on time-tested values of integrity, dignity, respect, Historic Vinland Kansas customer service and lasting relationships. Fred McClenahan joined Dave and his wife Phylis there, where they provided aircraft repair, rental, restoration, flight instruction and agricultural aviation services. Fred plays a key role today in developing and testing the McFarlane product line. As the company prospered and grew, it was incorporated as McFarlane Aviation, Inc. in 1986. As the years went by, it became apparent to Dave and Fred that there was room for improvement in many of the aircraft parts they were installing. In 1989 the company started in a new direction, the design and manufacture of general aviation products. Using their knowledge and skills of aircraft repair and restoration, they designed, engineered, manufactured and tested Cessna seat rollers and washers utilizing new materials. These improved products were accepted by Aircraft owners as being far superior to the OEM parts while costing much less. Sales of these first products grew rapidly and customers requested more products. New replacement parts were developed and approved by the FAA while manufacturing equipment, talented people, and quality control systems were added and improved. McFarlane Aviation quickly became known as the best source for superior quality, durable, low cost parts with excellent customer service, as a result, the business grew rapidly. Over the past two decades we have added capabilities growing the product line, to include Flight Cables, Door Cables and Push Pull Controls. Today McFarlane holds design and FAA-PMA approval for thousands of different replacement parts for numerous makes of aircraft and serves major aviation centers around the world. The experience of the past and constant input from knowledgeable customers have given McFarlane engineers vast knowledge of aircraft service demands that are the foundation of improved products. The pioneering spirit lives on in Vinland, Kansas and McFarlane Aviation Products will continue with its commitment to develop innovative solutions for aircraft service problems. 2 www.mcfarlaneaviation.com A Letter from the Founder McFarlane Aviation, Inc. 696 E 1700 Rd.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all of the aircraft owners, commercial operators, repair facilities, FBOs and parts distributors that have supported us over the years. Thank you! You are the reason we can continue to develop improved aircraft parts. Our common goal of reasonably priced replacement parts that work better, safer and last longer is shared by all of us. Without your support we could not survive the tedious and expensive process of product development, testing and FAA certification. Many of you have shared with us your knowledge and insight for new products and improvements that comes from your years of experience in repairing and operating aircraft. Your help has not been forgotten. I would also like to thank the FAA personnel that have worked with us. Many of them have gone the extra mile in supporting our goals. With the help of all of you, McFarlane Aviation Products has become a leader in light aircraft replacement parts innovation. I hope we can repay you by providing you with products and service that meet your expectations. I have not forgotten that this company is also your creation.
