Since 1992, VSE Aviation Services has proudly supported the agricultural aviation
industry. Originally founded as Kansas Aviation of Independence, we have evolved into
a global leader in engine accessory overhaul and repair. Despite our growth into one of
the world’s largest facilities by volume, we remain deeply connected to our humble
family roots. Our customers experience the same professionalism, kindness, care, and
unparalleled support that we have provided since day one, ensuring their needs are met
with excellence.
Our Independence, KS facility is an FAA/EASA/CAAC Part 145 Repair Station
specializing in the overhaul and repair of oil, air, fuel, and electrical engine accessories.
From Fuel Control Units to Ignition Exciters and everything in between, we service a
wide range of turbine engines used in Business/General Aviation and Rotorcraft. Our
primary focus includes supporting PT6A, PT6B, PT6T, JT15D, PW100, PW150, PW200,
PW300, PW500, PW600, PW901, PW2000, CF34, HW131-9A/B, and RR250 engines.
With over 2,400 unique part numbers on our capabilities list, VSE completes more than
11,000 work orders annually. To further meet industry demand, we maintain a large
inventory of rotable accessories, with same-day shipping available for exchanges.
Our future remains bright as we continue to expand our capabilities, often at the request
of our customers. As part of a publicly traded company (Nasdaq: VSEC), VSE is
uniquely positioned to offer not only repairs and exchanges but also factory-new OEM
parts. We are an authorized distributor of OEM turbine engine parts, avionics, and
actuation components from some of the most recognized brands in aviation—often on
an exclusive basis—including Pratt & Whitney, Triumph, Honeywell, Eaton, Ontic,
Norwich, Skurka, Champion Aerospace, and BendixKing.
Our 2023 acquisition of Desser Aerospace has further strengthened our position as the
leading global distributor of aircraft tires, hoses, tubes, brakes, and batteries. We offer
Goodyear, Michelin, Dunlop, Condor, and Aero Classic products directly from our
stocking inventory. Explore our full inventory at shop.vseaviation.com.
While much has changed over the years, one thing remains constant: our unwavering
commitment to our customers. We continue to prioritize delivering friendly, fast, and
flexible service of the highest quality—a commitment that will never waver.
