Mustang Aeronautics, Inc. acquired the
design rights from Robert Bushby in March 1992 for both the Midget
Mustang and Mustang II aircraft. We are located just north of
Detroit in Troy, Michigan. Our aircraft are hangared at the Oakland
Troy (VLL) airport. Visitors are welcome but please call ahead
of time to make an appointment. We can also mail a map giving
specific directions on how to find us. Weekends are usually a
better time to visit us as things are not as busy and traffic
is not as bad.
The president of Mustang Aeronautics is
Chris Tieman. Chris earned a degree in aerospace engineering from the University
of Michigan and has a background
in metal fabrication. He acquired his pilots license in 1986
and soon began looking for something to build that was faster
and more economical than the average factory airplane. The Mustang
II was the best choice for the desired requirements so plans
were purchased and construction started. When Robert Bushby decided
to retire in 1992 Chris' hobby of home kitplane builder became
his profession. His background in aeronautical engineering and
architectural aluminum are evident in today's complete kits that
have reduced build times dramatically. New manufacturing processes
have simplified the kits yet still maintained the economy of
the Mustang through improved manufacturing efficiency. |
