In June 1974, Finn Schou took over the company Herning Fly & Motorservice and continued the company under the name F.O.Flyservice.

Until May 1977, the company rented the facilities on Herning Airfield, where the workshop was placed.

Expansion of the company.

During the first years the company growed rapidly and the workshop / hangar facilities was soon to small, and we faced, that if we wanted to grow and still be adapted the GA market, we needed to build our own facilities.
In the beginning of 1976 we started the construction of a new building on 600 square m.
This facilities was ready for use in the beginning of 1977.

The first years after the company was started the work was primarily normal repair and service on smaller aircrafts, but in 1994 we expanded the activities again by founding the company F.O.Fly- & Motorservice ApS., the owners of this company is Finn Schou and Niels Lassen.

Niels Lassen was also educated as an aircraft mechanic in the Danish Air force where he has served in 6 years, after that period he continued, as a technician, in a civilian aircraft piston-engine workshop, the next 3 years.
Niels Lassen is today the manager and the leading technician in the aircraft engine-, component- and propeller workshop by F.O.Fly- & Motorservice, witch is a sub division of of F.O.Flyservice.

The workshop facilities, in Herning Airfield, have expanded with a engine and propeller workshop, all the facilities are today about 1.000 m2. heated area and further about 1.000 m2, unheated hangar facilities for aircraft parking, etc.

Company authorization by the civil authorities.

Together with the foundation of F.O.Fly- & Motorservice Aps, F.O.Flyservice was authorized by the Danish Civil Authorities to perform overhaul on propeller, components and aircraft piston engines up to 400 HK, and authorization to perform "Major Repair and Modification" on all aircrafts up to a weight limit on 2730 kg. plus on other specified heavier aircrafts . Later on the authorization was expanded to a JAR-145.
