Eaton Aviation Co was founded in 1990 to fill a growing void in the aircraft restoration market. Today we are New York's number one aircraft restoration company, serving clients in all 50 states. Eaton Aviation Co specializes in restoration and maintenance of small aircrafts to private owners. Ron Jones, owner of Eaton Aviation Co has over 23, 000 logged hours of flying time in 55 years of flying. His expertise in aircraft restoration and services are second to none. Well known for his award winning restorations in the popular Beech, Cessna and Piper aircraft.
