Who We Are
Our Story
Stoddards Aircraft Parts Center was founded in 1973 when it was purchased by Max Bolin and Bill Robek from Wes and Helen Stoddard, who ran an air taxi and flight instruction business. In 1973, Max and Bill shifted the focus to supplying parts to Alaska's bush pilots to meet the demands of the Last Frontier. Since then, we have been committed to supplying tried-and-true parts and products and superior, knowledgeable customer service.
Here, we understand that aviation in Alaska is not just another hobby; it's the lifeblood of the backcountry. That's why we've spent the last 50 years building a comunity based on trust, reliability, and good, old-fashioned service. We wear our "old school" style as a badge of honor.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
When it comes to building and repairing flying machines, cutting corners can get you killed. That's why we sell proven products that have been put to the test, and we do so with care and attention. If a product doesn't work, we don't sell it. If it's a gimmick, we don't sell it. Because when it really matters, you deserve hardware that works.
We might not have a fancy social media marketing team, but that's okay. Our service speaks for itself. We'll learn your name, your project, and help you find the parts you need to get flying again.
