Very inexperienced shop crew. Lindy is the only one with a maintenance license & experience but he’s pulled in different directions & can’t oversee the work being completed by the handful of apprentices. Did some contract work for them & my bill still hasn’t been paid after 6mos. Emails & voicemails go unanswered.

If you are a young girl trying to learn to fly do not go to with Charlie Hammond. He does not try to teach you to ways of flying rather just tells you how to do it and expects you to do it right. I have flown with him over 5 hours and he never went over the checklist with me once. After attending a proper flight academy i learned a lot more after one day than those 5 hours with charlie hammond. I see alot of good reviews from older men, so it shows how differently he treats people based on gender from my experience. Also, his wife I believe had a bad attitude with me when I called for a flight. She asked what I called for and have I flown with him before as if I never flown with him. I do not recommend Charlie Hammond's instructing if you are a young girl. If you are a young boy then go for it!

Not so sure of the ole guy, he took us up in the air but seemed to forget what was going on. It may be time for him to retire.

George LottN2085MFlew in over the weekend to Lake front for LSU vs FSU and along the way I had an issue with the front gear coming down in flight and going back up. Led me to believe the pump was going bad. FBO at lake front recommended Lindy so I gave him a call. He seemed slammed but was willing to help so I flew the Seneca out to him at KHUM. They have a really nice facility. Clean and covered in aviation history. Lindy and his crew pinned the problem down to the power pack that day. They let me use their crew car to drive back to New Orleans for the weekend. I had a stringent schedule to be put by Monday and as it was Labor Day weekend we needed the parts next day or Saturday. Lindy called every one he knew to find the parts I needed next day and did exactly that. If it wasn’t for UPS screwing up the delivery of the power pack he would have had me out Saturday however I didn’t leave until Tuesday afternoon after Lindys crew promptly had the plane fixed and paperwork ready within hours of the power pack arriving.Too long; Didn’t read: Go out of your way to bring your plane to Lindy. Fantastic leadership, crew, facilities, and customer service!

Nice friendly service. I could not ask for a better, faster, or friendlier service than what they offer here. All staff were knowledgeable and went out of their way to make sure everything you needed was available. Nice clean seating area for customers to sit while you are there. Interesting tables and items to look at also. Great place with a great owner.

Mr. Hammonds is very nice. My daughter made a memory touching the clouds and Hammonds Air Service is recommended!

I worked in the southern LA area for a few weeks and we based out of Hammonds Air Service for as much of it as possible. The people, and animals, there are top notch. This location should qualify as an air museum, as Charlie seems to have instructed just about everyone in the flight game. One of my pilots was surprised to see a Vietnam photo of his best friend, turns out Charlie had taught him to fly over 30 years prior. Truly a legend in flight and a business you should visit and take a long stroll through.

I paid for my daughter a birthday flight for her and two friends. I paid for an hour. I brought three other children with me to watch the plane go up. Mr. Charlie suggested, that if we didn't mind, he would break the flight up into 2 - 30 min. flights so none of the children had to miss out. We agreed and there were 6 very happy passengers! It was an amazing experience! I would recommend these memories for anyone. :)

Charlie Hammond is the BEST! He gave me a great 1.5 hour tour of the coast and turned me on to the WWII Museum nearby. Excellent!

Just finished a one hour tour of the wetlands and coastal water ways. Charlie Hammond is the best, he explained all about the erosion of the coast. Had a great time then topped it off with a tour of his museum what a fantastic man.
