Why We Do What We Do

More Than Business,
It's Our Legacy

MH Aviation has been a staple in the aviation community for over three decades. As a family-owned and operated business, we have built a loyal client base from all over the country. Pilots and aircraft owners come to us because they know they will get the job done with fairness and honesty.

What began as a dedicated maintenance shop founded by Mike Haney in 1988 has evolved into a complete aviation hub. Today, led by Jeff and Jessica Haney, we continue that tradition while expanding into flight training and FBO services.
