Baymark Aviation is a shining example of all that has made Van Nuys Airport the place you see and feel in Brian Terwilliger’s legendary film “One Six Right”, and this is exactly how I would describe Baymark’s approach to service, maintenance, and aircraft support… Legendary. I first came to Baymark about a year ago, after having owned my airplane for just about a year.  The Liberty is an uncommon and at first somewhat challenging technically advanced aircraft because of its FADEC engine management systems and composite airframe. I’d been searching for a top notch A&P willing to learn its unique systems, and help me tailor the aircraft to my needs and wishes.  Most mechanics  scratched their heads, offered to do the easy stuff, and recommended I call the Florida based manufacturer everything else. Little did I know, the best people for the job were a hundred yards from my hangar, right here at VNY.  Vastly knowledgeable Art and his team of very friendly, hard working, incredibly sharp mechanics, Anita, Cristian, Rene, Rey, and Sy,  were willing to read all the documentation, spend time with the airplane, and come to know it well.  They are never reluctant to dive into the details, work with regulations, and achieve desired results to the highest of standards.  I am always welcome to come and see things up close, ask questions, and provide feedback.  In the front office, Mark, Carolina, and Anita, welcome me to come in, sit down, ask questions, discuss options, exchange ideas, and just do a little hangar flying with the pilots and airport regulars that quickly become family there.  I often find myself stopping by just to say hello, listen to stories, or learn something new.  For me, the Baymark family continues to be a huge part of all that is great about general aviation.​
