Jason Perkins A&P IA
Certified Federal Aviation Administration Airframe & Powerplant Inspection Authorization Mechanic
with extensive knowledge in tube and fabric aircraft, specializing in ragwing restorations. Having maintained Alaska Bushplanes that are worked hard each day in a harsh environment, he is keenly aware of the trouble areas and solid remedies to give the best longevity.
Perkins trained intensely with the best-selling fabric system Poly-Fiber and its world-renowned fabric technicians, giving him a breadth and depth of knowledge on the covering process that is rarely seen this day and age. With post WWII projects, the hangar is inviting to those nostalgic for the Golden Age of Aviation. Being centrally located in Penobscot County, Dewitt Field draws customers from the entire state of Maine and beyond. This is a beautiful destination year-round, so as visitors fly in we encourage them to discover Old Town area amenities. A pilot himself, Perkins can even fly to the customer’s airport to assess the project and help formulate a plan to ship parts and line out various stages of the project.
