Historical aircraft maintenance
Preserving the Golden Age: Historic Aircraft Excellence
At Vliegwerk Holland, historic aircraft hold a very special place in our hangars and our hearts. Whether it is the iconic Piper Cub, the legendary Tiger Moth, or the mighty Boeing Stearman, we possess the specialized skills required to keep these vintage treasures in peak flying condition.
Our relationship with historic aviation goes beyond maintenance:
we share the same passion as the owners because we are flyers ourselves. With decades of experience in both the cockpit and the workshop, we understand the unique characteristics and handling of classic airframes and radial engines.
Why Trust Vliegwerk Holland with Your Legend?
Traditional Craftsmanship: We preserve the “old-school” arts of aircraft maintenance, including specialized wood-working and traditional fabric cladding (using both classic dopes and modern systems like Stewart Systems).
Expert Troubleshooting:
Old components often require a creative and deep-thinking approach. Our specialized electro-shop is renowned for finding solutions to complex electrical issues where others might give up, ensuring your original instrumentation and systems remain functional.
Extensive Archives:
We have built a vast library of historical documentation, manuals, and technical data, allowing us to maintain your aircraft according to its original specifications while meeting modern safety standards.
A Legacy of Passion:
Since 1952, Vliegwerk Holland has been a cornerstone of Dutch aviation. This long history means that “vintage” isn’t just a category for us it’s part of our DNA.
At Vliegwerk Holland, knowledge, experience, and a deep-rooted passion for aviation heritage come together.
We don’t just maintain airplanes; we preserve history for the next generation of pilots.
