Join us at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025 as Jim Irwin, president of Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co., celebrates the company’s 60th anniversary. From its humble beginnings supplying spruce lumber in the 1960s to becoming a one-stop shop for aircraft parts, avionics, and builder supplies, Aircraft Spruce has been a trusted resource for pilots, mechanics, and homebuilders for decades.
In this interview, Jim walks us through the company’s evolution, its best-selling products, the shift from plansbuilt to kit aircraft, and how they maintain strong customer service while shipping over 4,000 orders daily. You’ll also get a look at their booth, featuring consumables like oil and spark plugs, pilot supplies, premium headsets, handheld radios, and Garmin avionics.
Whether you’re building an airplane, upgrading avionics, or keeping your certified aircraft in top shape, see why Aircraft Spruce remains the go-to source for general aviation parts and expertise.
