Ever think about flying a plane? Well Southern Maine Aviation offers discovery flights that allow…read moreyou to do just that! My best friend is joining the air force and in preparation she has been going on discovery flights to get hours and experience. For my birthday this year she surprised me with a gift certificate for a free flight. Upon arrival we introduced to our instructor Aaron Poetz. I would 100% recommend him and would definitely request him in the future. He made our flying experience one to remember. This is something I think everyone should try at least once in their life. So grateful for the experience I had this morning and cannot wait to do it again. Thank you Southern Maine Aviation and Aaron!

If I could give SMA negative 5 stars, I would…read more They are a TOTAL Scam. Waste of $. All of these "positive" reviews you see are Fake. Read my experiences with them to see why they are FULL OF S*it, with nasty, condescending people in charge (Andrew Button and "owner" Mark Damuth). Stay away from Southern Maine Aviation The "manager" mark Damuth--is one nasty human being (pos). He is condescending and takes no responsibility for his inept instructors or company; the "chief pilot" Andrew is nearly as bad. Mark believes a paying customer who makes legitimate, verifiable complaints about the 'service' from the company and employees and requesting to get what they, the paying customer, fully paid for is somehow considered "harassment" and "threatening "and he will then REFUSE you service (BTW, I had my lawyer check my complaints and he could've brought a defamation suit against Damuth for saying that I was threatening because I did NO such thing; he just doesn't want to hear negative reviews about his sh!t company)! I've never been treated this way as a paying customer. Avoid Logan as a flight instructor. If you have a tight budget, time restrictions in your life and clear goals, I'd highly urge you to NOT use this company for flight training! Do NOT waste your time or money (unless you just want to burn $ with no set goal) at Southern Maine Aviation. I was fortunate to be able to take a leave from my job and had the money to finish a rating that I had wanted. I had said NUMEROUS times to Southern Maine/instructor that I wanted to be scheduled EVERY DAY, so that I can finish this rating ASAP. I had repeated this several times. From my past experiences with flight training, as well as per the advice of an airline pilot and a CFI from another company, and they concur with me, that you need to fly every day, or at least several times a week, in order to become and stay proficient with the maneuvers in order to pass the checkride. PERIOD. Further part 141 companies, which Southern Maine claims to be, that I have used in the past only allowed for TEN HOURS of training for this particular rating (see ATP). It CAN be done in that timeframe with a GOOD instructor and company = neither of which i got from SMA! I had been trying SINCE March to May of 2023 to finish this with Southern Maine, for a rating that shouldve taken NO more than ten hours; and I barely got scheduled once a week and not a care in the world from my "instructor", the "chief" pilot or "manager". So, i never was able to get my rating after spending $4k+! My instructor screwed up the schedule and canceled MY slot bc he had someone else in it. My instructor stated that he'd schedule me asap.....that was in may 2023 and i never heard back from him. After unsuccessful attempts to get my complaints rectified by the "manager/owner", i have just gotten no accountability, condescension and nastiness and wrongfully accused of "making threats"...im still waiting for Mark to show me where i allegedly made these threats (hes a lying pos). I refused to continue to pay to get this type of training from this company, when I clearly dont matter as a customer that had paid a lot of $$. So now, after MONTHS of studying, wasted time, gas, mileage/wear and tear on car, and $4000+ pissed away with Southern Maine, I still have NOTHING. Since I never was not sufficiently prepped or signed off for a checkride with Southern Maine, I am still no closer to my goals then when I started....just poorer. If you have a goal of finishing as fast as possible to get flight training, do NOT use Southern Maine. Go to an actual 141 school. Going with Southern Maine, with no clear focus on your training or when/if youll finish your goals, with incompetent instructors/"chief" pilot Button/owner Damuth, is NOT the way to go. N ow, thanks to Southern Maine not really giving a hoot about my goals, needs or training, I am out of luck with regards to finishing my rating and my flying future. I may never have opportunity to finish my training and head to the airlines. Avoid this company if you want to get your certs and ratings within reasonable times, per 141 standards. DO NOT WASTE TIME OR $ WITH SMA

You can watch the small planes land and takeoff from inside the restaurant or from the outdoor tables (weather permitting). We've been a few times for breakfast and lunch now and always find the service to be efficient and friendly. No reservations and it can get busy, so keep that in mind. I love the fact that I can order one pancake, which honestly is more than I can eat. They offer stacks of 2 and 3 for big appetites. We've also been for lunch and enjoyed a simple but tasty grilled cheese sandwich. When you are craving simple, comforting diner food, this is the spot in Hampton/North Hampton.
