Three high school friends reunited after World War II founded Kenmore Air in 1946. With one airplane and a single hangar near a swamp at the North end of Lake Washington, Bob Munro, Reg Collins and Jack Mines created what was to become one of the largest and most respected seaplane operations in the world.As with many great companies, Kenmore Air Harbor's beginnings were modest. The company experienced many anxious moments in its infancy. From re-zoning the shingle mill site to a commercial seaplane base to petitioning the Kenmore community for support, it was a struggle at times to keep the Air Harbor afloat. Working sixteen-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week left them little time to ponder the future; however.''Other than Jack's ideas about a hotel we didn't have much of a plan other than Reg and I would fix planes and Jack would give flying lessons. We just assumed it was going to work.'' - Bob MunroFrom the beginning, Kenmore Air's business philosophy was based on the foundation of integrity and exceptional customer service.
