  I have used Hortman Aviation for aircraft rental, and pilot training. My experiences have all been positive each time. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, and all have gone above and beyond to help me save money on training and be ready for my check rides at the same time. I have been in aviation for over ten years, both commercial and military, and this is without a doubt the place I would send someone who wanted to learn to fly.

  Hortman Aviation Services installed XeVision HID lights in the wings of my Cherokee Six this past fall. I could not be happier with the results. The workmanship was excellent and the staff was professional and friendly. Herb went out of his way to show me around when I arrived to pick up the plane and called a month or so later to make sure I was satisfied with the lights. Truly a first rate business.

  I got PPL and instrument rating at Hortman, and am checked out in most of Hortman's airplanes! I haven't seen another school/rental company with a fleet of so many airplanes, that are in great condition, and so well maintained! If not for Hortman, I would miss out on best hobby of my life! Thanks Herb!

  In over four decades of flying I can honestly say that Hortman Aviation is at the top of my list in satisfaction. Herb and his entire staff are dedicated professionals in what they do, and this is to ensure a pleasant flight experience. They always go the extra mile to help in any way they can.

  Hortman just finished the annual on my Grumman Tiger (N999SR), and as always, it was a first class, top-notch job. They take care of the planes they work on as if they were their own - I am so appreciative of the service and responsiveness that I receive there. Herb and John always respond to calls and take the time to explain all issues in detail. Herb truly treats you like family and is one of the most knowledgeable in the business. Today it is rare to get a business owned who is so experienced and busy, but who always makes time for his customers and gets to know them on a personal level. Highly, highly recommended.

  I got my PP at Hortman flying their AA-1s. Then I found I couldn't rent Grumman’s anywhere else when I moved out of Philly, so I decided to get my own. Hortman planes are well maintained and are great value. It's hard to beat $55/hr for their AA-1 (which I paid during 2004-2005) but it's still hard to beat their prices these days in the high $60s.
 
From Sascha Van Der Bellen on 27-Jul-2009

 
  Hortman truly gives above and beyond service. I recently completed the sale of my Grumman Tiger. New owner wanted a pre-buy and oil change done on short notice in the busy summer season by a Grumman-expert facility. Shop owner (Herb) and Mechanic John Loftus arraigned ferry of the aircraft from a neighboring airport and worked overtime accomplish the work. In more than a decade of aircraft ownership I have never found a more expert, thorough, and customer-service oriented organization. These guys are good!
