LAS VEGAS — All In Aviation, a flight school, aircraft rental, and sales business, has acquired its maintenance partner, Lone Mountain Aviation, Nevada’s largest general aviation FAA Part 145 certified repair station.
Lone Mountain Aviation has long served as the exclusive maintenance provider for All In Aviation’s fleet of aircraft, according to company officials.
“This acquisition represents a significant step forward in our efforts to best serve our clients,” said Paul Sallach, founder of All In Aviation. “For over 15 years, Kenny (Scherado) and I have built a strong and successful partnership. From pre-owned aircraft sales, his guidance in launching and growing our flight school business, to ultimately partnering on our Henderson hangar development, Kenny has been an incredible mentor in my career. It’s with mixed emotions that I see him move on to retirement, but I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together.”
Kenny Scherado, president of Lone Mountain Aviation, added, “It’s been an incredible journey building Lone Mountain Aviation over the past 40 years. Partnering with Paul and his team has been a true highlight of my career, and I’m confident that this acquisition will take both companies to even greater heights. I’m excited to see what the future holds and look forward to enjoying my retirement knowing that Lone Mountain Aviation is in such capable hands.”
A testament to their collaborative spirit, All In Aviation and Lone Mountain Aviation jointly built and launched the first purpose-built, multi-use aviation complex of its kind at Henderson Executive Airport in 2020. The facility features 9,000 square feet of office space, a retail shop for pilots, eight training rooms, a ground school classroom, an avionics workshop, a parts department, and a conference room overlooking the complex’s 22,000-square-foot maintenance hangar. The facility’s taxiway and 25 aircraft storage hangars — including 16 T hangars for small personal aircraft and 9 box hangars for mid-size business jets — were 100% leased upon opening and continue to maintain a wait list, company officials reported.
Founded in 1982, Lone Mountain Aviation is a certified warranty repair center for Cirrus, Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft and Epic aircraft manufacturers, as well as Williams, Pratt & Whitney, Continental, and Lycoming Engines.
This acquisition expands All In Aviation’s physical footprint by 23,000 square feet of maintenance space at its Henderson Executive Airport location and 18,000 square feet at its North Las Vegas Airport location, company officials noted.
