Randy Hayes is the owner of Hayes Aviation LLC and began the company with his father, L.G. "Gus" Hayes  in 1977.  Gus was a 1930s barnstormer and WWII B-17 pilot, and passed along the aviation interest to his son Randy.  The business has changed significantly over the years. Starting with ag plane engine overhauls, the business grew into inspection, tube and fabric repair completion. Initial projects included tube and fabric,  later evolving into metal aircraft and eventually to composite structures.  In addition, Hayes Aviation became the Colorado Plains Regional Fixed Base Operator in 1981, so fueling became an important part of the business.  Over the years Randy has worked diligently to provide expertise, integrity, and professionalism to the aviation community.
