The Pioneer Behind the Company
Guy Hill, Sr. had one of the most distinguished aviation careers in Georgia history. He was a decorated Navy pilot, airplane mechanic, FBO operator, politician, and a family man. During the 1950s and 60s, his FBO business Hill Aviation at Fulton County Airport steadily grew, providing general aviation services to a loyal Atlanta base. Over the years, the business saw the emergence of corporate aviation, added management and charter services, survived stiff competition from corporate chains, and eventually went through a major renovation under the new leadership of his son Guy Hill, Jr. The company has since expanded in infrastructure and support, while still honoring and respecting Guy Hill, Sr.’s legacy built over the last six decades.
Expanded Capabilities and Reach
In 2023, Hill Private Aviation’s charter and management services joined the George J. Priester Aviation family. By merging with the larger Priester family, Hill Private Aviation’s aircraft charter and management services taps nationwide infrastructure and resources. Hill’s charter and management expertise in Atlanta complements Priester Aviation in the Midwest plus fellow George J. Priester Aviation company, Mayo Aviation, in the Rocky Mountain West.
