The Beginning

At just 21 years old, Oscar Lopez stepped into the aviation industry out of necessity. Determined to support his family, he was ready to work hard and take on any challenge. What began as a means to an end quickly became a passion as Oscar discovered the beauty and potential of his craft.

The more he worked, the more he fell in love with the industry, realizing that his creativity thrived in designing and refining the most essential part of an aircraft: the cabin. It’s the space where every passenger spends their journey—a place of comfort, connection, and experience.

Fueled by his growing passion and an innate talent for innovation, Oscar turned a necessity into a vision, transforming not just his own future but also the future of aviation interiors.

This spark of passion grew into a vision for something greater. Oscar began to realize that the ideas and designs he had nurtured could redefine industry standards. With that clarity, he knew it was time to take a bold leap—to build something of his own that truly embodied his values, creativity, and commitment to excellence.

In 2007, after leaving his previous job to pursue his dream, Oscar Lopez was determined to find any way to make his vision a reality. That’s when a true friend, Rick Fleck, stepped in and gave Oscar the opportunity he had been searching for.

With Rick’s support, Oscar’s dream of building his own brand became a reality. On October 1, 2007, Camarillo Aircraft Interiors was born, marking the start of a journey to create exceptional aircraft interiors and leave a lasting mark on the industry.

Shortly after opening his own interior shop, Rick introduced Oscar to Alex Borla known for “Borla Exhaust”. Borla trusted Oscar to complete his Cessna 421 Golden Eagle and had it crafted to his signature logo colors, complimented with red sporty accents. This assured Oscar he was actioning towards the right direction of his dreams.

In 2008, Oscar brought one of his proudest ideas to life: the Diamond Armrest. This innovative design embodied the craftsmanship, precision, and creativity that defined his work. It was more than just a product—it was a statement of excellence and a reflection of the standards he set for himself and his business.

This year marked a significant milestone for Oscar and Camarillo Aircraft Interiors. Oscar received a call from Israel requesting a first-class design for a Bell 407 helicopter. The aircraft was sent to Camarillo for an exclusive, fully customized design, equipped with every luxury detail imaginable.

This project became Oscar’s first international commission and a testament to the growing recognition of his exceptional craftsmanship. It also paved the way for many more collaborations overseas, solidifying his reputation in aviation interiors. With each new milestone, Oscar’s progress and success continue to speak for themselves, inspiring what’s yet to come.

In 2018, the lease on the shop was coming to an end, and Oscar saw it as an opportunity for growth. Determined to elevate the business, he decided it was time to upgrade to an official hangar space—a move that would better align with his vision for the future.

The search for a new location began ambitiously, with possibilities spanning not just new cities but even new states. It was a pivotal moment, symbolizing the next chapter in the journey in the Lopez family.

After months of searching for the perfect location, we found our new home in Conroe, Texas. Its central location made it highly accessible for clients across the United States, and it offered the space Oscar had envisioned to support the company’s growth. It was the ideal place to bring his vision to life on an even greater scale.

With this fresh start, we saw an opportunity to rebrand and create a name that was more universal and reflective of our expanding reach. And so, Aviation X was born—a name that symbolizes our commitment to excellence, innovation, and a limitless future.
