Simuflight was founded over 30 years ago by Joe McHugh out of a passion
for these unique aircraft. Over the years Joe developed some of
the most innovative modifications available for the Seabee and in that
time became the man that everyone came to for Seabee knowledge.
Simuflight is a family owned company and with the tragic death of Joe
McHugh in 2003 his children have decided to continue the legacy and the
support for Seabee's that our father so loved.
As part of the "new" Simuflight we have moved our restortion facility
to Fallon Nevada and combined with Kenair Aviation (Ken Thompson).
The new facility has space for multiple restoration projects and
multiple aircraft in for general maintenance.
In combination with the new Nevada facility Scott Henderson, Joe's son has
taken over the
engineering for the company and is moving forward projects like the
electric elevator and rudder trim, a new engine package, in-wing landing lights and more to
expand the
companies offering. Engineering is out of our Alaska location so
you will have to bring a fishing pole if you want a face to face with the engineer.
Joe's daughters Penny (Larson) and Kris (Goldman) are taking over the business and
financial operations of the company as well as the FAA
relationships.
Our goal over the next couple of years is to increase our production
capacity to be able to produce a minimum of two restored Seabee's
(SuperBee's) annually and support maintenance and parts demands from the Seabee
community. We expect this growth to take time and we hope
that everyone can be patient as we grow.
We look forward to working with the Seabee community and encourage you
to contact any of us on the management team and let us know what you
think and provide suggestions and comments so that we can continually
improve the services that we provide.
