STAY FAR AWAY!!! Poor judgement and no common sense, probably very shady as well. A fellow pilot…read moreadvised me these clowns owed him a favor and he thought he would use that favor to get me a discounted annual. My 1986 TB-10 was 6 months out of routine annual when my aircraft was transported to Hammonds Air Service with request for annual inspection. I was never contacted nor did I think I needed to discuss a routine annual with these clowns. A few months later I started getting invoices to be paid, which I did without question, as I always do. BIG mistake. After all was said and done I paid $8000 for out-sourced prop rebuild, prop governor rebuilt, exhaust re-welding, carb rebuild. I thought that was it and was licking my wounds from that when I received their invoice for $17,000. Holy Sh*t! I did some simple math that showed I was in this for a $25,000 annual, charges NEVER authorized directly or implicitly and on a plane that I cannot sell for $25,000 now. The extreme LACK OF JUDGEMENT (and courtesy) by people who hold your life in their hands is inexplicable. I suppose my fellow pilot who brokered this travesty probably let it slip I was a physician, so maybe that explains it. I have since heard numerous stories regarding issues with this bunch, none positive, and none solicited to confirm my conclusion. One story a pilot I had just met regaled me with involved an engine failure accident he survived immediately following a mechanic service near New Orleans. My curiosity aroused I asked the company that performed the service. You guessed it, Hammonds Air Service.

Just a follow update , this place put me out of aviation financially from the service they gave me…read more, never owned up to their mistakes it will take me 5 years to save up to afford to fly again , if you have life threatening experience please file a complaint with FSDO you may save a pilots life ..

She was super sweet and walked me to the bathroom before the flight. And she had the champagne and chocolates ready for us once we arrived! I would highly recommend Gaiten bc not only was she professional and knew what she was doing piloting our plane to avoid the rain but she also made it fun asking what we wanted to see. My boyfriend and I had a blast!! My boyfriend did an amazing job by getting us this tour for my birthday! He's definitely a keeper! Now I want to take the daytime tour with Gaiten! Happy flying!

I signed my son up for flying lessons with this company. They prepared him for solo within 12…read morehours. Then the didn't help him with his written test (which was part of the course) which he needed before solo but continued to give him flight lessons until I returned to N.O. and found out. The kid didn't know any better. He was listening to the company. His instructors. Those 27 hours of flight lessons were redundant and unnecessary. No ethical flight school would ever have done that. A total ripoff of several thousand dollars. Be careful when dealing with them.

I recommend this company and Bobby to anyone who has ever wanted to try flying or just wanting to break the monotony of daily living.

Craig is such a down to earth person and I'm truly honored to have met and learn from him. He helped form a "plan of attack" and offered every accommodation I needed in getting my checkride done. Blake is a fantastic instructor and aided in filling in any last minute gaps I have for preparation. I HIGHLY recommend Aviation Academy to anyone in the area (or beyond as I'm from Houston) to get their training done here. Top notch facility, with top notch personnel. Not to mention, probably one of the elite when it comes to Rotocraft training! Thank you Craig and Blake for helping on one of my last journeys before the airline world!

Greg Puckett's name kept coming up as the best in the industry for his passion, professionalism, punctuality and genuine concern for his students' success. Greg was trained at the prestigious Embry-Riddle, the top flight academy in the U.S., and has years of experience running a successful school in Florida. He is a professional that really knows aircrafts and makes sure that students learn how to perform the necessary maintenance with pre and post flight checks to fly safe. Students learn to be excellent pilots and to fly safe, to expect and handle challenges, and to love the sky! What I appreciate most about Sky Shark is its focus on safety. This is the reason that we switched to this school. We are very proud of our son who is on his way to earning his commercial pilot's license with confidence and excitement - and we owe Greg a big thank you for getting him there!
