About Us

Passionate about the quality of aircraft maintenance

We offer tailor-made maintenance solutions for General Aviation professionals and enthusiasts. Our certified mechanics perform annual inspections, general maintenance, and repairs — on your schedule, at your hangar.

If we find something, you hear about it before we fix it. No surprise invoices, no work you didn’t approve — that’s the whole deal.

We’re based at Monroe County Airport in Madisonville, Tennessee, and we bring the shop to the aircraft. Less repositioning, less downtime, and a mechanic who knows your airplane and its quirks. Veteran owned and operated, with over 30 years of combined experience.

What We Do

Services

Inspections, maintenance, and repairs for General Aviation aircraft — done at your hangar whenever the job allows.

Our Specialty

We specialize in pre-buy inspections

Call us before considering purchasing an airplane, and we will do a thorough pre-buy inspection that fits within your budget.

An airplane is a big investment — make sure you know what you're walking into. Pre-buys give you leverage on the price, and peace of mind knowing your first annual isn't going to be more expensive than you expected.

This isn't a used car. It's an airplane.

Annual Inspections

A full annual, signed off by an IA. We document everything we find and walk you through it before we fix a thing.

100-Hour Inspections

Flying for hire or instructing? We’ll keep you on cycle so you stay legal and in the air.

General Maintenance & Repairs

Squawks, component swaps, troubleshooting, and the routine upkeep that keeps an airframe healthy between annuals.

Mobile / On-Site Service

We bring the tools to your hangar or tiedown, so you’re not ferrying a sick airplane somewhere just to get it looked at.

AD Research & Compliance

We’ll dig through the ADs, verify compliance, and keep the records clean — so there’s no scramble at your next annual or when you go to sell.

Mobile Weight & Balance

If you've had any maintenance or repairs that require a full re-weight of the aircraft, call us for a quote.

Co-Owner · Director of Maintenance
Joel Brashear
A&P / IA

I began my career in 2008, enlisting in the Air Force as an MC-130H Combat Talon II crew chief. After my active-duty tour I returned to Oklahoma and attended Spartan College of Aeronautics in Tulsa, earning my Airframe & Powerplant certificate in 2016. I then relocated to Tennessee, transferring to the Tennessee Air National Guard, and began my A&P career at Endeavor Air, a Delta regional carrier, where I spent four years maintaining CRJ 200/700/900s before going full time with the Guard in 2020. I now serve as a Dedicated Crew Chief on the KC-135R Stratotanker. I earned my Inspection Authorization in 2023, and since December 2021 I have applied that background to general aviation — co-founding C&J Aviation with my partner, Cale, to bring the same discipline and standards from military maintenance to private aircraft owners.
