Dear Aviation Community,
I would like to introduce you to the newest (old) FBO in Bend, Gibson Air Service. Steve Gibson is the son of the late Pat and Marge Gibson. In 1950 Pat and his wife started the very first FBO in Bend and were successful for many years
Steve is bringing back his parents legacy by reopening Gibson Air in the old red Quonset Hut 2 doors down from Pro-Air. The same building
was the hanger for the business, and Steve and his sisters grew up in a house that is now the terminal owned by the City of Bend. Gibson Air Service offers an excellent professional maintenance staff headed by Mick Guinn. Mick has over 30 years experience in aviation maintenance from the Army working on helicopters, to a Lancair/Columbia factory mechanic (not just factory trained), to experimentals and even the big iron. He specializes in composite repair and has decades of experience working on all types of general aviation aircraft. Our shop is fully insured and we also do prop balancing for a full service experience. Gibson Air Service will soon launch a complete pilot supply store with charts, flight instruction materials, headsets, and all necessary items that pilot’s need most. We have a comfortable pilot lounge where all are welcome to come and hanger fly till their hearts are content. In addition, we are an authorized HERTZ car rental center offering full day, weekly, and even crew car rentals. Click on the links above, call Carrie our controller at 541-388-5040, or just stop by and come see what we’re about. Give us the opportunity to earn your business and you will not be disappointed. Sincerely,
Gibson Air Service
