and aircraft mechanics keep busy with some 15 aircraft in the
shop at any given time. The hundreds of system upgrades have
provided Fetherston with the opportunity to expand into the
used radio market. With an investment in an e-commerce site,
the repair station maintains a large inventory of parts, including
primary flight displays. In addition to bringing in extra money,
NexAir technicians have ready access to parts, which helps
keep turntimes down.
"We take everything on trade and give a good value,"
Fetherston said. "We have a very good network around the
world. One of the original Garmin dealers in Scotland buys
four, five, six Garmin 430s at a time."
Creating an inviting work setting
Like other repair station owners, finding and retaining
good technicians is always a priority and a challenge.
It helps that Cape Cod Community College created
a multimillion-dollar training facility at the airport.
Fetherston participates with the school's intern program,

hires recently graduated technicians, and provides in-house
avionics training.
"We've created a top working environment for the top
working mechanic," he explained. "Our pay scale is better
than most. We strive to give them a career with ongoing
training. We don't push; we always choose quality over
quantity. It might take us longer than other shops to complete
a similar project, but it gets done better in my opinion. We
host barbecues and deep-sea fishing trips. We pay for our
employees' pilot's license. Plus, we have a company aircraft
that employees can fly for free. It's a nice perk."
At EAA AirVenture 2018, Fetherston looks forward
to talking with pilots about their aircraft electronics and
avionics. Knowing upfront that most people he talks with
live too far away to bring their aircraft to his repair station
in Massachusetts takes the pressure off everyone.
"We can have an honest discussion about what it takes
to put this equipment in your airplane," he said. "I can
learn what you're thinking and bounce ideas back and
forth. Besides, I always tell people I'm not a salesman,
I'm an engineer and a pilot. I love Oshkosh. I'm having
fun doing this." q
