From Nick Manning on 17-Jun-2023

 
  We flew in for an event on a Saturday afternoon and we were greeted by some of the friendliest service we have ever experienced. Logan Lee and Spencer literally rolled out the red carpet for us! Niki was beyond helpful and attentive, staying in contact with us the whole day. Not only will we be back, but we will recommend to everyone we know!
 
From Tyler Bass on 07-Jun-2023

 
  My experience was wonderful thanks to the entire staff and especially Niki and Christina. I stopped by because of a thunderstorm and they made me feel more than welcome. They offered me a crew car and recommended Ronnie's which was really good. I will definitely be coming back and if you stop by be sure to ask for Christina and Niki.
 
From Bob Snow on 13-Mar-2023

 
  I arrived at dusk with an unscheduled stop due to weather. Niki was just about to close the FBO and go home. She stayed forty minutes, providing tie-down ropes and arranging accommodation and a ride. There was no other activity on the field when I landed and I had fully expected to spend an uncomfortable night in the airplane. My most sincere thanks.
 
From Wes Hoy on 12-Mar-2023

 
  What marvelous experience at the Pierce facility at KHDC, Hammond! The crew, Niki, Logan and Ryan could not have been more accommodating. I landed for a quick turn, picking up a passenger. I need a crew car and Niki pulled it around immediately. We were running against some moving weather and the crew assisted in expediting a top-off. Louisiana hospitality at its finest. Thank you!
 
From Carl Martin on 30-Jan-2023

 
  January 2023 - Weather divert to KHDC during VFR x/c. Niki, Ryan, and Logan provided excellent service and overnight hangar (space available) for my RV7. Thank you for the protection from the weather.
 
From Wayne Headlough on 23-Sep-2022

 
  Very nicely run local Company. Excellent service, great fuel pricing and will definitely use this facility on our next project.
 
From Sidra Moneyhun on 13-Jul-2022

 
  We had a fabulous experience. Baille, Angela, and Leslie were very hospitable and friendly. We look forward to seeing them again!
 
From Cecil Ford on 13-Jul-2022

 
  This is the friendliest FBO I've stopped at ever. They set us up with a rental, brought it to the airplane, fueled and put the aircraft away. Next day Baille, Andrew, and Ryan provided same excellent service. Pizza, cookies and refreshments.
 
From Keith Uhls on 06-Jul-2022

 
  We dropped in and were greeted with a smile and given red carpet treatment by Angela and Leslie on the line. Then Nikki greeted us inside and directed us to cold water and the restrooms. Its great to see every one treated like they are important not just the jet traffic. Great FBO and staff.
 
From Richard Lopez on 09-Jun-2022

 
  I recently spent a few days in Hammond and reached out to Pierce Aviation for accommodations. Niki arranged everything thing I needed to include lodging recommendations, rental car, and others. Couldn't have asked for better service. Thanks Niki!!
 
From Russell Lewis on 06-May-2022

 
  Service was great. Nikki and Andrew made sure we were well taken care of and on our way the next day with everything we needed!
 
From Gary Hennington on 05-May-2022

 
  Flew in on business, Carly and Angela met me at the plane with smiles and offers to help. Nikki had my rental car and paperwork waiting for me. I was out and on my way in minutes. Very efficient and nice crew! I will definitely come back to Pierce.
 
From Brian Campbell on 18-Apr-2022

 
  Pierce Aviation is a great FBO and had great friendly welcoming helpful staff especially Nicki and Ryan. We got in late on Easter and they were still there ready to help. Thank you thank you. Amazing job.
 
From Phillip M Dinning on 13-Apr-2022

 
  Staff was very friendly and helpful upon our arrival. We arrived right at closing and staff waited on us and had the rental car ready and waiting. And had coffee ready next morning at 7:00am! Enjoyed our visit!
 
From Kevin Hunt on 10-Apr-2022

 
  Carly made sure we were taken care of asap even with very busy morning with the ramp full of jet's much, much larger than us. Thanks again Carly!
 
From Jacob Bryan on 04-Apr-2022

 
  Stopped in for a quick turn this evening and was greeted by Angela and Carly. We were greeted with professionalism and they went above and beyond to help our passengers with luggage and to get us fueled and out of there in a hurry to meet our reservation time at MSY. Pierce is very fortunate to have Carly and Angela on their team! What a great experience!
 
From Jesse Seaman on 28-Mar-2022

 
  Ryan did a great job parking us. Ryan and Angela took care of fueling the aircraft. Baille took care of the billing. They were very kind and friendly with us. We enjoyed our short visit with them...
 
From Dave Knowland on 22-Mar-2022

 
  Niki and Bailey at Pierce are the BEST! True professionals and really nice people. We are a 135 operator and experience a lot of FBO's around the country. Because of people like Niki and Bailey Pierce is always going to be my "Go To" FBO when I'm in Hammond! Cheers!
 
From DJ Wootson on 21-Mar-2022

 
  We couldn't decide to turn into at HDC. Glad we turned into Pierce! We were greeted by the all female FBO crew that was very courteous and helpful. The red carpet was rolled out and they got us going in a crew car! The service was great and so was the sweet tea!
 
From David Wiginton on 08-Mar-2022

 
  Our company operates several light jets and provides medical service requiring quick turns and efficiency. The ground staff at Pierce has a great command of a relatively small ramp and takes great care with the jets. Angela and Carly are especially efficient and friendly. When necessary, it is one of our tech fuel stops because of their ability for quick turns. Inside Nikki and Baily provide the operational face of the FBO. Again, they are efficient and anticipate your needs. I would give them a try should you need a fuel stop or just to stretch your legs.
 
From Robert Ion on 25-Jan-2022

 
  For such a small FBO, the service was incredible. Very nice and knowledgeable staff, quick service, and great environment. Definitely would recommend!
 
From Julia Garcia on 07-Dec-2021

 
  Amazing staff and excellent service! Shout out to Niki and Andrew.
 
From Clay Cook on 21-Nov-2021

 
  Called the day before and Niki was very courteous and accommodating. This was my first time to HDC, and the Pierce Aviation Team, Andrew, Ryan and Nikki provided great service. Trip was planned to pick up a new Scotty puppy for my Daughter, thanks Pierce Aviation for making it happen!
 
From David Hill on 03-Apr-2021

 
  This is my second recent trip to KHDC staying with Pierce Aviation. This is a great FBO, which is made great by the people who work there. They had my rental car ready and pre-heated, treated my trusty Rockwell Commander 114 with care and respect, and were pleasant and friendly. My line crewmember, Angela, is a sharp young lady and future pilot. Great place!
 
From K Gardner on 04-Feb-2021

 
  Stopped here with a student on a long cross country to stretch our legs. Very comfortable FBO. Angela and Andrew treated us like royalty. This definitely is the place to stop if you're in the area.
 
From Kimberly Ann Brown on 29-Oct-2020

 
  Pierce Aviation was great! Landed here after hours, after running out of daylight on our cross-country back home to South Florida (and Pierce folks were still here working). Very friendly greeting by Chris who helped us tie down, unload and loaned us the crew car for overnight stay at the Marriott. Very cute, quaint, hip FBO. Very hospitable! Chris recommended some amazing Louisiana style Cajun restaurants! Went to Don’s, as it was 5 mins from the Marriott! Ordered to go per Covid. They hand delivered to car and we had a Louisiana feast in the hotel room! On departure we were given warm cookies! Love this place and especially all the warm and friendly people! Tower controller was great too! Big thank you to Pierce Aviation! We will be back!
 
From C Bow on 14-Sep-2020

 
  We arrived late but Angela and Reese were waiting patiently. They very professional and worked hard to get us underway quickly. Great experience all around!!
 
From Tony Garza on 12-Sep-2020

 
  This was my first time flying into Hammond, LA and chose Pierce Aviation by the suggestion of other fellow pilots. I was marshaled in promptly and met with smiles and even a carpet. Usually in my experience only high roller turbo prop and jets received that. It was refreshing to see female line techs that were kind and very professional. Even when a crew car wasn't available Ashley from the front desk was able to help. Overall the staff of Ashley, Angela, Christina, Emily, Andrew, Reese and the line manager Chris really made me feel right at home. That was really nice considering I was there for a Flight Instructor check ride. I definitely will be recommending Pierce aviation to fellow aviators and look forward to my next visit to Hammond.
 
From Urmila Sameer on 01-Sep-2020

 
  This was my first long cross country travel as PIC along with my godfather Mr. Edward and his friend Mr. Clyde from 2IS Airglades in South Florida to LCH Lake Charles in Louisiana, had to stopover the aircraft (N7543V C172) for fueling purpose in HDC Hammond Airport. We taxied to Pierce Aviation FBO for a short break, the people at this FBO are very welcoming & supportive. We met Mr. Chris Perry the General Manager who is a wonderful gentleman who helped us though the visit. We had a nice chat over the place, effect from recent hurricane Laura and of course aviation life. He gave us the brief description about his job role and things they're involved in related to aviation. They also welcomed us with cold water to drink and freshly baked cookies, which are irresistible. The FBO has lot of memories stored of all the visitors who’s been to Hammond. There is also a huge USA map on the board where you can mark your visit as a gesture. Recommended stopover for all aviators to Enjoy/Relax
 
From Scott Mullins on 04-Aug-2020

 
  Where do I begin. Stopped here to pick up a dog that I was transporting to Georgia for a Pilots-N-Paws mission. Angela marshaled me in with a smile, and then rolled out the red carpet for me and then she sprinted to get chocks. It was 90* and felt like 110* with the humidity. Angela then went and grabbed two bottles of water for my copilot and me. Angela was just awesome and even helped take some photos of the dog with us in front of the airplane. The southern hospitality didn't end there. Once inside Drew was at the front desk and she was just as accommodating while taking care of the fuel bill Drew smiled the entire time and was a pleasure to meet. Drew offered waters to go and came out to Say goodbye after we secured the dog in the plane. These two young ladies will go far. The controller was very accommodating as well. Absolutely a pleasure after a 2.5-hour flight to get there. Will definitely make a point to visit again.
 
From Jake Stroud on 09-Jul-2020

 
  I was returning to Texas from Florida with family in the back of my Cirrus when a maintenance issue and weather system called for an unplanned stop at KHDC. Tower asked me which FBO I wanted and fortunately, I said the one on the west side, Pierce Aviation. The rain started right about the time we got to the FBO lobby but Chris, the GM, moved my plane out of the weather. I wasn't planning on spending the next seven hours monopolizing their pilots lounge, but they graciously let my family snooze uninterrupted...All day. In the meantime they gave me tools, hangar space to troubleshoot, cookies, tea and coffee. The owner, Mr. Pierce, heard about my troubles and came in to volunteer his help. Other flight crews had the crew cars out, so Chris went to a nearby restaurant and picked up lunch for us. All for 20 gallons of cheap avgas. The whole team was simply fantastic. If you have any reason to stop in SE Louisiana let Chris, Emily, Drew, Aiden, Erin, Liam and Ford take care of you.
 
From David R on 06-Jul-2020

 
  Stopped by to pick up a canine passenger. Very courteous and helpful. Super quick turn around with fuel. Will be back, Thanks.
 
From Anh-Thu Nguyen on 04-Feb-2020

 
  Chris Angela and his team at Pierce Aviation made our quick turnaround possible with awesome customer service! They helped us vacuum and stock up our citation, and we were able to go back out in just a few minutes. Thank you so much, and we'll definitely be back!!!!
 
From Spencer Napor on 24-Jan-2020

 
  The only FBO I've ever been to that had free Laser Tag. They're great as ever and they've been taking great care of our two, soon to be three caravans. Thank you again for the awesome service and warm welcome!
 
From Jason Ahlgren on 15-Nov-2019

 
  Fantastic experience, highly recommend. Efficient service, friendly and accommodating. We had a short day trip to the local area and when we came back the aircraft was fueled, GPU attached, and ready to go. Chris was professional, waiting patiently while our engines were running, as we needed 15 minutes to work through a pressurization problem. Excellent stop will come through here more often.

  Very friendly and helpful, great service
 
From Troy Whistman on 20-Oct-2019

 
  Aiden, Chris and Emily provided fantastic service for two airplanes that arrived for an Angel Flight meeting. I was in our Cessna TR182 and the other member was in his Columbia 350. They met us as we arrived, had our rental Hertz on site and ready, helped us load bags, and managed relocating and securing the aircraft with tiedowns after we departed. Our fuel orders were handled correctly and free waters and on-tap draft Abita root beer (locally produced) were provided for our journey. Without asking, the offered a fuel discount since we were associated with Angel Flight and there on AFSC business. Fantastic stop on the NW corner of the field. Will definitely be back!
 
From David Moore on 13-Sep-2019

 
  Flew into KHDC 9/12/19, stopped at Pierce Aero. The service and Hospitality of this FBO is in matched. It's nice to fly in and receive honest sincere hospitality. Aiden and Emily treat you like family, if your going to Hammond this is the place!
 
From M Duncan on 15-Jun-2019

 
  Emily & Parker took great care of us. Amazing service here
 
From Dan Dorr on 07-Jun-2019

 
  Great experience my first time at Pierce Aviation at HDC. Aidan and Mitch took real good care of us while we were there. Good restaurant suggestion, too. Ronnie's was the perfect eating place for our crew.
 
From Chris Nichols on 03-Jun-2019

 
  We stopped into Pierce on the way to and from Orlando for our annual Disney vacation. As always, they provide stellar service. The kids and my wife really liked the tour of the planes they support. It's become the must-stop-there fuel stop when we're in that part of the country. I'd give them 10 stars if I could; these folks do an FBO they way EVERYONE should!
 
From Mike Gleason on 26-May-2019

 
  Great FBOs to stop at. Staff is very polite and accommodating. If you have some musical inclination, there have a baby grand piano and guitars in the FBO.
 
From Dale Lambert on 12-May-2019

 
  I fly from a grass strip not far away and stop there regularly when weather dictates. I have always had great treatment at Pierce, formerly Hammond Air Center. Name changed but the excellent management has not. Very nice facility and great service. Drew and Aidan were great, I highly recommend this FBO.
