About Us
| Jamie Trudeau, owner/operator of Trudeau Warbird Enterprises, started in New England more than 30 years ago restoring and refinishing all types of aircraft. Techniques and craftsmanship were learned from the dying breed of old school artisans. Several restorations were awarded trophies for excellence, and have graced the covers of many aviation magazines. Jamie's credentials included A&P/IA, ME and specific aircraft type ratings. |
| Four years ago, Jamie relocated to the Florida sunshine and partnered with Dexter Aviation for the unique opportunity to concentrate on maintaining the aging warbird fleet. Linc Dexter subsequently retired, and TWE took over the complete operation. The hangar facilility was expanded when it was rebuilt following Hurricane Charlie's devastating visit in 2004. |
| Since then, TWE has become one of the most respected warbird restoration facilities in the country. Our client list includes a prominent aviation museum as well as many prestigious private warbird owners and collectors. Honesty, integrity, and the highest standard of safety is afforded to each and every aircraft we have the honor of maintaining. |
| The company is home to craftsmen and artisans who focus on safety and integrity of workmanship, and can easily accomodate historical accuracy in their restorations. On staff we have 2 IA's, and an additional 2 A&P mechanics, as well as several other very knowledgable workmen and volunteers who have helped us provide the high level of service we are known for. While TWE's focus is primarily on T-28's, and other warbirds, we will accept GA aircraft for repair or modification. |
