OUR STORY
Worldwide Aircraft Recovery was started in Rockford, Illinois in 1987 by Ben Nattrass. Ben got the idea to move aircrafts as a business after he was asked to transport a small aircraft from the Rockford Airport in his enclosed refer trailer. Since it’s found in 1987 the team from WWAR has successfully relocated thousands of civilian and military aircraft.
Worldwide Aircraft is the ONLY aircraft recovery company that performs all phases of the relocation in-house. The individuals who disassemble your aircraft are the same people who transport and reassemble.

OUR SERVICES
AIRCRAFT DISASSEMBLY & RE-ASSEMBLY
Our team of experts will disassemble the aircraft to a suitable dimension to be transported. After we deliver the aircraft the same team that disassembled will begin reassembly.
AIRCRAFT PACKAGING & TRANSPORT
We disassemble each panel and part that needs to be removed, placing each piece in protective wrap and crates to prevent damage. We safely transport the load following all laws & regulations.
OVERSEAS RECOVERY & SHIPMENT
As logistic professionals we will coordinate with overseas shipping companies to safely transport the aircraft to the destination. Once the aircraft is delivered our team would arrive and begin reassembly.
PYLON/PEDESTAL DISPLAY MOUNTING
With onsite fabrication capabilities we can mount your aircraft on ground static display stands, pylon mount or ceiling suspension.
OUR CURRENT PROJECT

We moved this F-102 from Bradley Air National Guard base in CT down to Eglin AFB U.S Air Force Armament Museum in FL. This project was started on March 7th and was disassembled by our team on March 14th. We will be transporting the aircraft on March 19th and the aircraft will temporally sit at Eglin disassembled.
