My copilot noticed a small nick in a prop blade during preflight. We were able to get in touch with Richard DesPortes at Speedbird Aero. He quickly and efficiently dressed our blade with a smile on his face and an easy manner. Thanks, Richard.

These guys are awesome I emailed Richard after landing at KCSG the day before Thanksgiving and he promptly got back to me in no time and they were able to fit me in and service my collapsed strut so I was able to depart on time after the holiday.. Great great people and a blast to hang out with! I would recommend them to everyone and they are in a great location if you need help!!

Unfortunately I blew a tire while taxiing off the runway here at KCSG. I called Speed Bird Aero and was answered immediately. I was offered help the same day of the incident and was able to get my plane in to the shop and fixed same day. I appreciate the help from SpeedBird Aero and would recommend to others!

Richard at Speedbird was an absolute lifesaver. I developed a rough engine near CSG and landed it here on a cross-country. Richard dropped what he was doing, helped me diagnose the issue, and got me on any way within a few hours. Absolute gem of aviation community in action.

Richard DesPortes of their local AP shop Speedbird Aero quickly helped me fix a flaps issue so that I wouldn't be stranded. Excellent and friendly service!!!

I stopped here to drop off a few passengers in my PA32 Cherokee Six. 15 gallons minimum to waive a $25 ramp fee. I noticed that one of my main struts was a little low, and the line crew offered to tow my plane to the maintenance hangar at the other end of the field. I told them I would taxi instead, and they guided me with a follow-me golf cart. Richard DesPortes with Quality Aircraft Maintenance (Speedbird Aero on Facebook) took time out of his day to add nitrogen to the strut. He was incredibly helpful and nice, something I really appreciated. Plus, he didn't charge me anything for helping me out. His card lists his phone number as 706-681-8741 if you need any help with your plane.

A few weeks ago on a Sunday, I lost an alternator about 30 miles south of KCSG and landed. Flightways put me in contact with Richard DesPortes from Speedbird Aero, a maintenance shop on the field. The shop was closed, but he and Austin Edwards came in to help me out... Could not have been more knowledgeable and helpful. I was seriously shocked that type of service still exists. Anyway, if you're in the area, Speedbird takes great care of customers.

These folks were fantastic. Had a minor problem and needed a mechanic. Had one there and he fixed it - bang done! AERO Maintenance, Richard DesPortes was better than excellent, and spotted several squawks that I will address in the annual - sharp eye my friend!
