Ed found that BAS supplies a vast array of guaranteed parts for various aircraft, making it a significant resource for both vintage and contemporary aircraft owners.

BAS Part Sales
Do you ever feel as though you have been living under a rock … you know … you crawl out of your known world and discover some great thing that everyone else seems to know about, but is new to you? This writer picked up on that feeling (not the first time!) just recently when In Flight USA’s Associate Publisher, In Flight Publishing’s, Annamarie Buonocore, mentioned a company she had recently had conversations with, BAS Parts Sales (https://baspartsales.com). Not sounding like an aviation specific business, some research was warranted. As a pro-pilot that comes from the mid 1950s, this old airplane driver still tends to read magazines and stick to virtual publications, like In Flight USA, when browsing the web. Sorry to say, the web is not part of my recreational profile, but visiting the BAS Parts Sales website was a real eyeopener, one that is worth sharing.
BAS Parts Sales is a relatively new company, formed in 2012. When viewed from under the shadow of my rock, one might first see BAS Parts Sales as primarily an aircraft salvage company, with a vast supply of fully inspected and guaranteed parts applicable to a wide variety of airplanes. The concept of a salvage company is no stranger to this writer, having recently purchased a simple radiator cap for an old tractor for just $15 from one of the many farm-implement salvage stores, versus paying over $60 from the original manufacturer. Even my first airplane, a 1942 Talyorcraft L-2 came from an aircraft salvage yard (Compton, CA) and paid back every bit of its $900 purchase cost as a great time builder. Over the years, great companies like Univair and Aircraft Spruce became veritable family members as this airplane nut owned Tri-Pacers, T-Crafts, Aeroncas, and even an Ercoupe. But what about those who own more contemporary aircraft such as Cessna, Beechcraft, Piper, Rockwell, Cirrus, Mooney, Mitsubishi, Learjet, Hawker, Maul, Jetstream, Beechjet, JetStar, Robinson, Hughes, Air Tractor, and more… and more, updated daily!
