Jay Wisler
Jay Wisler of Tampa, Florida, has been the go-to guy in the warbird parts industry. His Business, Warbird Parts and Memorabilia, has supplied critical parts for restoration projects around the world since 1982. He has traveled from coast to coast in the United States and Canada, overseas in Australia, South America, and Europe, buying inventories of surplus military aircraft parts. He now manages nine large warehouses stocked full of inventory to serve the warbird community. Many of the past EAA Warbirds of America Grand Champions/Reserve Grand Champions are outfitted with some of Jay’s aircraft parts.
His favorite restoration aircraft is the North American P-51 Mustang. Over the years, Jay has supplied parts for countless Mustang restorations. His favorite project was Jack Roush’s P-51B, Old Crow.
His motto is “If I don’t have it, I’ll help you find it” This philosophy has served the warbird community quite well.
Jay has been married to his wife, Sharon for 41 years, and they have one daughter.
