TYSON - CEO

After highschool, my fascination with planes, engines, and general mechanics inspired me to enlist in the United States Air Force as an Aerospace Propulsion Technician, where I spent 20 years maintaining the E-3 AWACS. During that time I was stationed at Tinker AFB in OKC and Kadena AB in Japan, as well as many deployments and TDY's across the world. Upon retiring from the Air Force, I was hired at a local part 145 repair station in OKC. During my tenure, I worked as an A&P mechanic and was quickly promoted to team lead after 3 short months. As a team lead, it was my responsibility to ensure projects on multi-million dollar business jets were completed in a timely manner while also ensuring my mechanics were performing by the book maintenance and doing so in a safe manner. I joined the team with Leading Edge Aviation on January 1, 2024 where I have had the distinct pleasure of working on General Aviation aircraft. I have recently earned my Inspection Authorization and will enjoy utilizing my new certification and knowledge to guide my mechanics throughout their daily operations to continue providing top notch service for the General Aviation community in the OKC metro and surrounding areas!

Hi, I’m Kristy, and this is Agis. I serve as the Executive Assistant at Leading Edge Aviation, and Agis is our resident “security dog.” When he’s not asking the mechanics to throw his ball, he’s on the clock, keeping an eye on the aircraft and our facility.

My interest in aviation began about 17 years ago when my oldest son started his flying journey and earned his private pilot’s license before he even had his learner’s permit. As a single mom, I was determined to support his passion rather than let fear get in the way, and that season really deepened my faith and trust in God.

I’m a proud mom of two amazing young men. Shortly after they finished high school, both joined the United States Air Force and “flew the nest” within two months of each other.

I’ve worked in sales and customer service for 22 years and love being out and about with customers and vendors. When the opportunity came to join Leading Edge Aviation, I was excited—but the real blessing is that the business is owned by my oldest son. My youngest son was working here when I started and is now pursuing his A&P certificate, having completed his first year.  

I’m incredibly proud of both my boys and grateful to be part of the family and team at Leading Edge Aviation.

Clay, a retired Navy aircraft maintenance technician, is transitioning into the civilian aviation world after selflessly serving our great country for over two decades. With his extensive knowledge, particularly in avionics, Clay will be a valuable asset to the team. We eagerly anticipate his joining next month. More details about Clay will be shared soon!
