History

Founded in 1983, by Hoyt Smallwood and Orville Turner, S & T Aircraft Accessories, Inc. has provided accessory overhauls to primarily radial engine aircraft in the agricultural industry and to vintage aircraft. Mary Turner, Orville’s wife, has worked for the company since its conception.

In 1990, Hoyt Smallwood sold his shares of the company back to S & T Aircraft Accessories, Inc. Since then, S & T has been family owned and operated. We currently have 10 employees, 4 of which are family.

Orville began engine accessory work in July of 1950 with L. H. Luckey, Inc. of Dallas, TX. Orville made sure that his knowledge and experience were taught to Mary Turner, his wife, and Nathan Durbin, his step-son. When Orville passed away in 1998, Mary and Nathan became the owners of S & T Aircraft Accessories, Inc. Together, they have been able to maintain the high standards that Orville had set for the company.

In 1992, S & T Aircraft Accessories, Inc. moved to its current location, a 22,000 sq. ft. building, with plenty of shop and warehouse space. Situated on a 3-acre tract, there is plenty of room to grow.
