U.S.
Pacific was founded in 1987 by world-famed
aeronautical engineer/designer Don Mitchell and Richard
Avalon, the current owner of the company. Don and
Richard worked together at Mitchell Aircraft Corporation
from 1978 through 1983. Don passed away in 1992 leaving
the designs and manufacturing rights for the Mitchell
Wing Models B-10, U-2 and the P-38 to Richard. U.S Pacific's long-term and ongoing goal is the development and promotion of fun-flying on a world-wide basis. This concept is realized through the production of Ultralight home-builts that are simple to build, easy to fly and economical for the enthusiast who wants to enjoy the realm of pure fun flying and do it in a safe machine. It's based on this concept that U.S. Pacific was founded and continues to operate. Our name is synonymous with home-built Ultralights and fun flying. |
