Des Moines Flying Service

Des Moines Flying Service brings decades of general aviation expertise to aircraft owners and operators throughout the Des Moines area, offering dedicated aircraft washing and interior detailing services backed by a legacy that dates back to 1939. Founded by Howard Gregory and recognized as a Piper Aircraft Dealer for more than 80 years, DMFS understands what it takes to keep an aircraft looking sharp and performing well between flights. The team approaches every wash and detail with the same care that has defined the business for generations. Exterior washing removes grime, oil residue, and buildup without compromising paint or finish, while interior detailing addresses cabins and cockpits with an eye for the small details owners notice most. Technicians work efficiently to minimize downtime, understanding that aircraft need to be ready to fly, not sitting idle in a hangar. Owners and pilots trust DMFS because the work is done with respect for the airframe—using methods suited to sensitive surfaces and avoiding shortcuts that could cause long-term damage. Whether an aircraft needs a routine wash after a busy flying season or a more thorough interior refresh, the DMFS team treats each aircraft as if it were their own. For general aviation owners in the Des Moines region looking for a detailing partner with real history in the industry, Des Moines Flying Service offers the experience and attentiveness that comes from decades spent around aircraft of every kind.
