The company’s primary goal soon became the training of post-war military pilots returning from active duty to work in the early civilian airlines.

In 1960, the company broadened its production and development efforts with additional pilot supplies and books added to the ground school training line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1969, the company became Northwest School of Aviation under a new owner, Roy Beech.

The company was incorporated in 1977. In 1981, Joe Finelli joined the organization, bringing 20 years of experience in printing and publishing with him.

Pilots HQ had the best price on the pump needed to replace the one on my plane that was failing. It actually shipped ahead of schedule, arrived quickly to my IA who was ale to install it and get me back in the air in a timely manner. Great service and price.
I stopped in looking for some very specific AN bolts. The ladies up front went way out of their way to help me find the bolts I needed. Got my annual done that weekend thanks to Pilot HQ.
