The Nonprofit Behind It

Real grandpas building real airplanes.

Every aircraft we deliver is built by a crew of retired Boeing engineers, veterans, and seniors at the Silver Eagle Project — a nonprofit man-shed in Arlington, Washington. We also restore classic cars in the same shop.

When you buy a plane from us, you're not just getting an airplane. You're putting purpose into the hands of people who spent their lives building things that fly.

The Place

A real workshop. A real home.

Five bays. Full tooling for sheet-metal aircraft work. And — for Build Assist guests from out of town — a place to stay onsite while you build your airplane.

Take Off

Your airplane. Your hands. Two weeks.

$100,000 down secures your plane and your spot. Balance at completion.
