June 11, 2011 was Blue Swallow Aircraft, LLC’s first annual open house. The event was well attended by more than 50 guests and everyone had a good time visiting and looking over the projects that are under construction in our new facility, on Reas Ford Rd.
On April 1st 2011 BSA moved into its new facility at 395 Reas Ford Road in Earlysville, VA. This new facility is 4 mile from the CHO airport and large enough for all of our current projects and will allow us to fully assemble our Avro 504’s under construction! We are really looking forward to this new location. Call us for an appointment to visit.

John..I wanted to take a second to thank you for allowing Chapter 231 to visit your shop and for your very very interesting explaination around your current project and the overall capabilities of your shop and company. Your knowledge and ability to communicate some of the intricacies of the building process were really impressive. It was truly amazing to see what you have been able to accomplish in your shop and the progress of the project now underway.
Best Regards,
Jim Spatola VP Chapter 231
