Company History
Pat Epps and Epps Aviation have come a long way since the aviation pioneer days when Epps' father, Ben T. Epps, the first pilot in Georgia, built and flew his first vintage aircraft in 1907. Ben Epps built another eight aircraft designs until 1937, when he was fatally injured in a takeoff crash as the airport in Athens, Georgia, which is now named in his honor. His six sons and two of his three daughter all became pilots.
In 1965, Pat Epps bought a small fixed-base operation (FBO) at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport (PDK) and began Epps Air Service. The original facility consisted of a main hangar (40,000 square feets) and a shop-office area with 19 employees. Today, more than 5 decades later, Epps' team numbers more than 140 and operates on a total of 21 acres at Atlanta's premier general aviation airport. The facility consists of the original main hangar,a terminal lobby, two maintenance/avionics hangars totaling 54,000 feet, five corporate aircraft hangars, 40 T-hangars and its own fuel farm.
