About Avenger
Aircraft Landing Gear Experience You Can Trust
Avenger specializes in supplying Boeing and Douglas aircraft landing gear components and actuators to airlines, overhaul facilities, cargo carriers, and other aerospace industry suppliers worldwide. Our staff has more than 90 years of combined professional aerospace and landing gear experience. We are expert at identifying the various components that make up each aircraft model’s landing gear system, as well as the interchangeability criteria that may relate to the unique configurations of various gross weight applications. Avenger delivers the right part, right on time, with the right expertise and service.
What Makes Us Different?
- Our inventory is one of the largest, because we understand the complexities of the components that make up each aircraft model’s landing gear.
- Components in today’s aviation aftermarket are often only available in an alternate format, part number, or higher installation of the same landing gear assembly. We ensure you get the part you need.
- From RFQ to receiving your shipment, we strive for friendly, confident, and efficient service. It’s simply the Avenger way.
- We warranty products from the date of sale – not the date of tag. We stand behind New and Overhauled parts for 12 months, Serviceable parts for 90 days, and As Removed parts for 30 days.

Meet Our Landing Gear Experts
Grant Leersnyder
Having grown up in the South Pacific country of New Zealand, I joined the Royal New Zealand Air Force to become a pilot. Turns out they had enough pilots that year, so I trained as an aircraft mechanic instead and served for six years. I met Craig on the train down to boot camp and we became fast friends.
After leaving the RNZAF, we decided to meet in the New York on July 4th, 1986 “Our Independence Day” to do some traveling in the United States. Our temporary travels soon became more permanent, so I got a job as a landing gear salvage expert in Florida. Fast forward to 1992, I moved to Northern Virginia, got married, and raised three daughters.
By 1999, Craig and I were ready to combine our years of expertise across all aspects of commercial aviation to set up Avenger – and the rest is history.
Craig Sampson
Hailing from the far-off island of New Zealand, I have been involved in aviation since 1978. After earning my private pilot’s license at the age of 17, I joined the Royal New Zealand Air Force and served five years as an engine and airframe technician. It was during this time that I met Grant, and we have remained solid partners ever since.
Coming to the USA in 1986, Grant and I continued our aviation careers. Building on our many years of military engineering and civil aviation experience, Grant and I started Avenger in 1999 and have grown the company into a leading supplier of commercial landing gear components.
Today, I also work as a corporate pilot. With more than 9,000 hours of flight time, I currently captain a Bombardier Global 6000 Vision in worldwide international operations.
