Mayo Aviation enjoys a long-standing relationship with Flight for Life Colorado, the nation’s first fixed wing air ambulance service and one of the most accomplished critical care transport programs in the country, serving critical patients in the Rocky Mountain West for over four decades.
Hill Private Aviation began with Guy Hill Sr. coming home to Atlanta from World War II. A decorated Navy pilot, he flew people in rides over the city and created a hangar storage and maintenance business at Fulton County Airport in 1955. The company expanded, providing a variety of aviation needs, including full charter service in 1967. For more than 65 years, the family company, now led by Guy Hill Jr., perfected the Sensational Southern Service for which it would become famous. Hill Private Aviation now serves charter and managed aircraft customers throughout the Southeast.
