JNS Aircraft Sales, LLC began its operation in 1991 driven by its owner and manager, Jim Shelton, to expand his love of aviation. "Our family has, and is still involved in a variety of investments and businesses ranging from agriculture to real estate to oil and gas exploration. I have enjoyed a life time love affair with aviation as well, and when I was just leaving high school decided to learn to fly-- that was it for me. Since my first lesson I continued to move up through the different types of aircraft until I found myself flying the King Air. That was really all I ever wanted to fly." JNS has continued to pursue aviation as a passion rather than a business. "It is just something we love to do."

The company has completed over a hundred transactions since its inception, focusing on the King Air market as its "bread and butter." The company prides itself in attention to detail as each project begins. JNS feels the King Air provides the best platform for its "reproductions" because it is still in production, and is the most popular turbo-prop the world has ever seen. As the "reproduction" begins JNS will include fresh inspections, the latest in avionic upgrades, Raisbeck modifications, and cockpit restoration. The cockpit restoration will include new panels, yokes, side and overhead panels, sub panels, fuel control quadrants, all pedestal equipment is completely refinished to factory new specs, and all gauges are overhauled and rescreened. Following the airframe and avionic work the aircraft receives "above and beyond" paint and interior. "It seems we always spend more than the market will allow, but there are a number of people out there who want an aircraft that has gone through a program like ours -they want a new aircraft without paying 4 times more for it."

JNS is based in Nara Visa, New Mexico with offices in Virginia and Texas. The research, consulting, and acquisitions are headed up by Bill Arnwine out of the Virginia office, and production, sales, and management are attended to by Jim Shelton and his son Joe Shelton in Texas. "If a person is looking for an aircraft that is far and above the best in its class, look no further than the King Air, and if he is looking for the best King Air, look no further than JNS".
