Hill Flight Support, LLC

Hill Flight Support, LLC supplies parts, repairs and logistics support for US military fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. It has done this work since 1973.

The company supplies nonstandard aircraft parts. It specializes in locating and overhauling rare, scarce, obsolete and hard to find items. Its logistics specialists know maintenance and support needs and look for parts, systems and equipment at competitive prices. A network of regional offices, consultants and representatives helps clients with their procurement and support programs.

Quality checks are part of every order. Certified quality control inspectors examine and approve each part so that it conforms to ISO 9001:2015. Parts carry a warranty and are compatible with US manufactured aircraft and equipment. The company can also follow a customer's or government's own quality rules, including source inspection requests through Defense Contract Administration Service offices.

Hill also builds parts. It makes mechanical, electro-mechanical and hydraulic motion control devices, using a build to print approach for products that fit its strengths. Its production list includes nose and main landing gear assemblies for the F-5, F-15, F-16 and F-18, and landing gear for the C-130 and the UH-60. It also makes an F-5 windshield frame and the F-5 AIM-9 missile launcher. The company is the sole licensee of the Nammo Defense Systems Bomb Ejector Rack, with all variants, sub-assemblies and parts, for complete builds or MRO.

Repair management is another service. Hill sets up repair, overhaul and maintenance programs on a timetable that saves money and warehouse space. Its engineers work on crash damage repair and other special jobs. It has developed overhaul processes for items such as F-5 horizontal stabilizers and AH-1 rotor blades.

For logistics, Hill runs its own supply management system and a master database of more than 14 million national stock numbers and 40 million part numbers. Its export program helps manufacturers reach hard markets, with support from US government agencies.

Its legacy equipment list covers the F-5 E and F, T-38 and F-16 A to D, and the AH-1, UH-1, UH-60 and CH-47 helicopter series. Clients are armed forces in countries such as the United States, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Jordan, Turkey, Morocco, Kenya, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Argentina.
