ron butler - 40 YEARS at winner aviation
Winner Aviation, a Twin Commander Factory-Authorized Service Center located at the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport in Vienna, Ohio, is proud of its long history servicing the Twin Commander line of aircraft, and Ron Butler has a lot to do with that pride.
Butler, who is supervisor of Winner�s engine shop, is celebrating his 40th year with the company�four full decades of working on the engines that power Twin Commanders.
After earning his engineering drafting diploma from the Educational Institute of Pittsburgh, Butler joined the U.S. Army as a helicopter mechanic, then became a helicopter crew chief and, finally, helicopter tech inspector. In 1969 he joined Beckett Aviation, which later became Winner Aviation. He was mentored by Beckett�s maintenance department and earned his A&P certificate working on piston- and turbine-powered Twin Commanders and Jet Commanders.
�This experience puts me at the top for knowledge with respect to these engines as well as the airframes that carry them,� Butler says. �This allows for mentoring younger mechanics and faster troubleshooting on problems.� He is a recipient of the Certificate of Completion for the Dale Carnegie Course and the �Above and Beyond� Exceptional Service Award from Allied-Signal.
�Ron is highly regarded as one of the premier TPE-331 experts in the country,� notes Winner President and CEO Rick Hale. �He personifies our slogan, �Experience is the Difference.� Winner Aviation is proud to be the oldest independent Factory-Authorized Honeywell TPE331 Engine Major Service Center in the world, and we could not be more proud than to have Ron Butler as a part of our Winner Aviation team.�
