BAS Mechanic Team
The BAS Mechanic Team is an expert crew of aviation mechanics who know how to surgically disassemble an aircraft. Our mechanics are skilled at moving quickly through an aircraft to remove as many usable and serviceable parts as possible while ensuring what's left goes into the proper recycling channel. When they are done with an aircraft, a stripped, bare-bones fuselage is all that is left to move out of the hangar. From the time that aircraft enters the hangar until that fuselage is ready to move into the yard, the BAS Mechanics are laser-focused on providing maximum value to our customers worldwide.
While the Mechanic Team spends most of their time in the disassembly shop at BAS Headquarters in Greeley, they go on the road occasionally. You might find the team somewhere in North America disassembling an aircraft for transport back to the shop. Or, you might find the guys in the airfield at BAS Kansas City removing the final components from the over 1,800 aircraft waiting for disassembly in Bates City, MO.

The Learjet 60XR: Built for Speed, Back for One More Assignment
Apparently, nobody told this Learjet 60XR it's supposed to slow down. Barely into the BAS turbine hangar, and the phones are already ringing. With Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics, Pratt & Whitney PW305A engine components, and a deep lineup of Learjet systems entering disassembly, this aircraft is attracting serious attention. Get a closer look at the jet, its equipment, and what's headed into the BAS inventory pipeline before somebody beats you to it.
