A Legacy of Innovation Meets Hollywood’s Creative Vision

I’m thrilled to share an exciting new chapter in the BAS Part Sales story—our expansion into the film, television, and themed attraction industries. Over the years, we’ve built a reputation for revolutionizing aircraft salvage and procurement, and now we’re bringing that same expertise to Hollywood and beyond. With this venture, we’re giving retired aircraft a second life in the most imaginative ways—on-screen, in museums, and as centerpieces for creative attractions.

Over the past decade, BAS Part Sales has grown into a trusted name in aviation, specializing in the procurement, salvage, and distribution of aircraft parts to customers around the world. When we acquired White Industries in 2023 and rebranded it as BAS Kansas City, I knew we were on the brink of something transformative. This acquisition gave us the foundation to take a bold step into entertainment, offering filmmakers, set designers, and creative businesses access to authentic aircraft for their visionary projects.

This shift isn’t just about selling old planes—it’s about storytelling. Whether it’s a crashed jet for a high-octane action sequence, like the King Air in the opening scene of Landman, streaming on Paramount+, or a vintage aircraft for a museum exhibit, we’re making it possible for retired aircraft to live on in exciting new roles.

Check out #3 on this list of real-life-inspired scenes from Landman. The King Air in the explosion in episode 1 was purchased from BAS Kansas City and refurbished to look like a slick, all-black airplane for the first episode - an airplane that gets blown to smithereens when an oil tanker crashes into it. This was wild to watch and it was very cool to have some small part in such a great production.

Our new initiative focuses on repurposing decommissioned aircraft into versatile assets for the entertainment industry. This approach offers a distinct competitive advantage, providing unique and visually striking elements that surpass traditional set designs in originality and impact. The potential applications are numerous:

Our repurposed aircraft provide unparalleled backdrops for productions, offering scale and visual interest difficult to achieve through conventional means. This translates to enhanced production value and reduced reliance on costly and time-consuming set construction.

These aircraft become the foundation for immersive rides and interactive exhibits, creating unforgettable experiences for visitors. This leverages the inherent excitement and appeal of aircraft in a creative and engaging way.

• King Air Aircraft for "Landman" (Paramount+) – We provided a salvaged King Air aircraft for dramatic effect in 101 Studios’ Landman, currently streaming on Paramount+.

• Hawker 125 for "Ride or Die" – A Hawker 125 found its way onto the big screen with Ride or Die CDN Productions Inc.

• Shorts SD3-60 at a Pennsylvania Bed & Breakfast – No longer airborne, this aircraft has been transformed into a unique accommodation experience.

• Jetstream 31 Aircraft for Attractions – We’ve supplied these for everything from a Halloween horror display at Field of Screams to winery attractions and emergency training facilities.

• SAAB 340 for Apple TV Production – Mountainair Films acquired this aircraft for an upcoming Apple TV project.

• Lockheed Jetstar Components for a Museum Exhibit – The Ian Fleming Foundation repurposed select aircraft parts for a historical display.

These projects showcase the incredible range of possibilities when it comes to repurposing aircraft, and I’m beyond excited to continue supporting creative projects like these.

The entertainment industry's constant pursuit of visual innovation creates a substantial market for our services. The originality and visual impact of repurposed aircraft offer a significant competitive advantage. We are strategically partnering with EIN Presswire, leveraging their extensive distribution network to reach a broad audience of industry professionals. Their syndication points, reaching over 150 million unique visitors monthly, provide unparalleled exposure for our services. Our press release has already been distributed across leading newswires, ensuring maximum visibility and engagement.

We recognize the inherent logistical challenges associated with procuring, transporting, and preparing aircraft for various entertainment applications. Navigating relevant regulations and safety standards is a priority. However, our team's extensive experience in aircraft components and maintenance provides a solid foundation for effectively managing these complexities.

This strategic expansion represents a significant milestone for BAS Part Sales. We are confident in the long-term viability and profitability of this initiative. We remain committed to innovation and providing exceptional service to our clients in the entertainment industry. We believe our unique approach to aircraft repurposing will transform how the entertainment industry leverages these iconic assets, generating significant value for our partners and setting a new standard for creativity and innovation. Our continued success will be built on strategic partnerships, efficient logistical solutions, and a commitment to excellence in every aspect of our operations. We are excited about this new chapter in the company's growth and look forward to contributing to the future of entertainment.
