There are tools sold at Circuit City, CompUSA, Best Buy (Please find European
equilvant) which will properly strip and crimp a BNC connection.  You will need
 to know which size of coax cable that you are using, ie. RG-58, 59, 62, 93.  I
 am not for sure what size is normally used aviation use.

No, the centre pin should also be crimped onto the conductor to do the job 
properly. BNC crimping tools normally have a small hole just for crimping the 
centre conductor.
In the dim dark days of networking I used to be able to do one complete BNC 
connector every two minutes! Gets a bit boring after the 300th!!
