Moved locations several times in the Palmdale Lancaster area (without changing the address in the FAA database and probably did not notify the FSDO) and then last I heard all of the shop equipment and repairs in progress ended up in a barn somewhere out near Victorville CA. I know of one restoration project that had a heck of a time recovering their parts but finally got them back after 9 months or so.

"Thunder Airmotive" is or was an accessory overhaul shop in southern California that had been around for decades.
I had them overhaul two AN4101 400 GPH fuel pumps about two or three years ago. They may have done other overhaul/repair work, I have only had them do engine accessories. Dont believe there was any association with any other "Thunder" company.

They still have two of my Fuel Pumps and one of my Starters. I'd really like to have them back. Anybody know how to get in contact with them? I've tried every phone number people have given me, but they have all been disconnected...
