These guys (with affiliate AVP Kenosha Aviation) are the BEST around! For annual inspections, maintenance, or just a good deal on fuel, go here. When I had my 2000 Cessna 172SP on leaseback going back to 2003, they used to take it up there for 100 hour inspections because of the good deal and service. Then when I took it back offline in 2007, I kept going there.
Jack, former owner now retired, is the nicest old man you can imagine. He would talk your ear off, but always give you honest work and a good deal. Now Gene runs the maintenance shop, and he's keeping that tradition going. Larry is the colorful GM, very kind and thoughtful. He'll make you laugh all day long. He let us use one of their hangars in 2007 to film a movie preview for "The Spectacular Brink of Life" for next to nothing, and flies me back to Chicago Executive before and after annuals.
Don't go anywhere else! read more
