Ryan Yenger, Vice President of Aircraft Maintenance at Lone Mountain Aircraft, brings nearly 30 years of aviation experience across military service, commercial operations, government contracting, and corporate leadership.
He began his career in the United States Marine Corps as a helicopter flight technician before earning his Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) license. Ryan spent 15 years with Airborne Express as an A&P Technician, mastering airframe and powerplant maintenance. He later served as a Senior Field Engineer with L-3 Communications (now L3 Technologies), supporting mission-critical aircraft in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kuwait. He also holds Inspection Authorization (IA) certification, underscoring his commitment to regulatory compliance and safety.
Joining Lone Mountain Aircraft in 2013 as Director of Maintenance, Ryan led operational oversight, quality assurance, and return-to-service flight operations. He also developed and continues to expand an engine exchange program that expedites Cirrus Aircraft engine replacements, reducing downtime and enhancing customer satisfaction.
In 2025, Ryan was promoted to Vice President, where he now drives strategic growth, expands technical capabilities, and implements new product lines. He is currently focused on building a diverse business model to complement Lone Mountain’s Platinum Cirrus Service Center, positioning the company for long-term success and broader customer service offerings.
Outside of aviation, Ryan resides in Jeffersonville, Ohio, with his three children—Cole, Hensley, and Clay. He serves his community as a Township Trustee and enjoys camping, hunting, and fishing.
