INDIANAPOLIS - Eagle Creek Aviation Services, a leading provider of aircraft services and sales, announced today that it has received the AMT Diamond Award of Excellence from the FAA for participating in the Aviation Maintenance Technician Awards Program.

It was presented to Eagle Creek on March 6, 2014, in Indianapolis by the FAA's Flight Standards District Office (FSDO).
