MYTH: Aircraft engine swaps always take months.
FACT: Sometimes, the right team and the right engine change everything!
This beautiful Cessna 180 Plains aircraft from Oklahoma Airmen’s Flying Club came into Red Man Aviation for an engine TBO. Our crew was ready to begin the teardown process when a Lycoming replacement engine was located. This was a huge game changer.
Instead of a possible 12 week downtime, this aircraft was:
Engine swapped, Installed to spec, Inspected, tested, and flown Back home within just 30 hours!
We love delivering quick turnarounds when possible — but we’ll never cut corners to save time. Precision, safety, and craftsmanship always come first.
Huge shout-out to Oklahoma Airmen Flying Club for trusting Red Man Aviation with this aircraft.
WE ALSO have a few engines in need of a new home! Give us a call to see what we have in inventory!
