Our History

Homer Holman, founder of Holman Aviation, learned how to fly shortly after high school. In 1942 he joined the Marine Corps as a Naval Aviator during WWII. While in the Marines he held the rank of 1st Lieutenant and was a flight instructor and safety officer teaching airmen to land on aircraft carriers.

Upon his return to Great Falls, Homer was employed as a flight instructor until he started his own flight school in Fort Benton. Homer returned to the Great Falls airport and in 1950 started Holman Aviation.

In 1972 Homer expanded Holman Aviation to include Kalispell, MT and later sold the Kalispell location to his son Robbie Holman. In 1990 his youngest son, Dwight, joined the business and continues to operate Holman Aviation today. In 2008, his granddaughter, Jamie Ronholdt joined the business. Homer was very proud to have 3 generations involved in the business. Homer continued with the business until his passing in 2019 at age 96.
