Aircraft Detailing at Sacramento Mather Airport (KMHR)

Mather has the longest runway in the region at 11,301 feet, and it brings in the biggest aircraft we see. If you operate something large in the Sacramento area, this is the field built for it.

The big iron field

Room for Aircraft Other Fields Cannot Take

Mather is a former Air Force base, and it still has the footprint to prove it. Nearly 2,900 acres and a runway long enough for heavy transport traffic mean the aircraft here are a different class of job.

What big turbines leave behind

Exhaust Staining on a Bigger Scale

The larger the turbine, the more soot ends up baked along the aft fuselage and belly. On transport category aircraft that residue is heavy, it is greasy, and it will not come off with a normal wash. Belly and exhaust degrease is a core part of what we do at Mather rather than an upsell.

Multiple tails, one schedule

Set Up for Fleets and Flight Departments

Mather sees cargo operators, charter fleets, and corporate departments running several aircraft at once. We would rather build you one recurring schedule that covers the whole fleet than quote each tail separately every time something gets dirty.

Good to know

Mather Questions

Do you handle large aircraft?

Mather is the field where that question comes up most, and the honest answer is that it depends on the type. Tell us what you operate and we will confirm scope, crew size, and timing before you commit to anything.

Can you degrease a heavily sooted belly?

Yes. Belly and exhaust degrease is standard work for us here, and it is usually the single biggest visual improvement on a turbine aircraft.

Do you offer fleet pricing?

For multiple aircraft on a recurring schedule, yes. It is almost always better value than one off jobs.

How long does a large aircraft take?

Longer than a light jet, and we will not pretend otherwise. We give you a realistic window up front rather than a number that sounds good and then slips.
