Description
HISTORY: Colemill Flying Service had its beginning in early December,1944 at Cornelia Fort Airpark, a newly established, privately owned, public use airport located in Nashville, Tennessee. From those early days of conducting business as Colemill Flying Service, Ernest W. Colbert has been either a partner or owner of the business and the airport. In the early 1950’s, he purchased the business from his partner and the airport from the other FBO owners and has remained as the sole owner of the business and the airport since then. Shortly after his purchase, he changed the name of the company to Colemill Enterprises, Inc. For over 64 years and through his guidance, Colemill has developed many modifications to enhance the performance, comfort and safety of several types of aircraft. His dedication and innovative ideas have grown a small FBO to become one of the world’s largest modification companies with a nationally recognized reputation for excellence. In November 2003, for his enduring contributions, extraordinary achievement and exceptional service to aviation for Tennessee, our nation and the world, Mr. Colbert was inducted into the Tennessee Aviation Hall of Fame.
Colemill conversions, such as our Piper Navajo Panther and Beechcraft Baron Foxstar conversions are world famous. Many of the conversions include our Q-Tip propeller for a smooth, vibration-free and extremely quiet ride. Also, included in several of our conversions are Colemill’s “Zip Tip” winglets for improved in-flight stability, lowered stall speed and better control needed for short field operations.
Colemill conversions deliver the highest level of performance enhancement while simultaneously adding cosmetic style and flair to already great aircraft.
In addition to modifications to aircraft, Colemill also offers a full range of aircraft services, including maintenance and repair, avionics, aircraft sales, air charter services and flight instruction.
