his year, Field Aerospace and Field Aviation
are marking their 70th anniversary of
providing specialized services to the international
aerospace industry. To survive 70 years in the aviation
industry, a company must have several factors in its

and rich history, we continue to build and strengthen
our presence in the U.S. through Field Aerospace and
internationally through Field Aviation. We are very proud
of our employees across all sites and with what we have
achieved."
In 1947, the Hunting Group of the United Kingdom
created a photographic survey company in Ontario,
Canada. According to the company's historical timeline,
this business expanded through the purchase of Weston
Aircraft, which added design, manufacturing, service and
maintenance capabilities. At that time, the company was
renamed Field Aviation. In the mid-1950s, Field Aviation
opened facilities at the Calgary and Toronto international
airports to support the growing number of aircraft used
in oil and gas explorations, as well as to modify standard
transport aircraft for special-purpose applications such as
aerial photography and geophysical survey.
An AEA member company since 1971, Field Aviation's
expertise in reclaiming and repairing accident-damaged
aircraft was well known by the 1980s - performing
salvage operations on every continent from Canada's
high Arctic to South America and Africa. In the 1990s,
its innovative aerospace engineering capabilities
ushered in a new era with its aircraft firefighting
systems and modification services. These services
included restorations, cargo conversions, and interior
reconfigurations, as well as major airframe inspections
