King Air Testimonials
"When choosing a facility for major MRO work, I always look for recommendations from fellow members of the aviation community. Prior to working with Elliott Aviation, I heard great things about their quality and commitment to stand behind their work. Our first major project involved a total overhaul of our King Air for a Phase 1-4, Garmin G1000, Blackhawk engines, and a complete customized paint and interior refurbishment. When we work with Elliott, we are not just a customer, we feel like we are part of their family."
Brendan Goss
Chief Pilot - Ballengee Aviation
"For our aircraft, we were faced with the decision to continue costly recurring avionics maintenance or to upgrade. When we compared all of the numbers, the Garmin G1000 made the most financial sense. Elliott Aviation provided the best customer service for our King Air 350 Garmin G1000 upgrade. Not only are they experienced in Garmin G1000 retrofits, their attention to detail was second to none. At Elliott, they understand the importance of my time by offering a 15-day guaranteed downtime. My experience was incredible, and I was impressed with the exceptional service Elliott provided."
Keith Perry
Chief Pilot - Lamarque Motor Company
"We needed a reliable avionics solution but could not afford downtime. After evaluating our options, the Garmin G1000 made the most sense as far as capabilities, product support and overall value. When choosing a service center, Elliott Aviation stood out because of their 15 day guaranteed downtime. And, I knew of their excellent King Air reputation. Although it was a three-hour flight each way, I wouldn’t have gone with anyone else. Their customer service went above and beyond - including a training session on my new G1000 system. It was one of the best experiences I have ever had."
TJ Horn
Chief Pilot - Jones Industrial Holdings
"I am blown away by the expertise Elliott Aviation provided on my Garmin G1000 installation from start to finish. Although I knew the G1000 was the best avionics system on the market, I had some fears about having a project of this size completed thousands of miles from my home. Elliot Aviation quickly put me at ease by providing an exceptional quality of installation, all in just 15 days. Communication and experience made me one of their many satisfied customers from all over the world."
