  Wonderful visit. My wife and I flew in for an overnight from Atlanta on our 182. We were treated with the utmost of care. Line crew was waiting for us as we rolled up. They helped with our bags, checked us in and took us to a local hotel. Next day the plane was fueled and ready to go. Very professional all the way around. Will definitely come back!

  Courteous and prompt, even when I arrived unannounced. Complimentary ride to a local hotel. Great folks and very reasonable tie down fees.
 
From Jeff Doran on 22-May-2011

 
  Stopped in early evening unannounced, was met by the line guys who promptly took my fuel order. Very clean and modern facility. The folks at Rick graciously gave me a lift to a nearby hotel, and even picked me up on a Saturday morning when the hotel wasn't running it's airport shuttle. Very reasonable overnight fee for my Mooney. Highly recommend.

  Stopped in for fuel on my way down to Charlotte. Nice facility, staff friendly enough, prices for fuel ok. All in all, a good stop.

  Landed at PHF as JGG was below minimums. They guys at Rick were great! They were kind enough to give me a ride to my hangar at JGG. You have a customer for life. Thanks!

  Great service from Rick Aviation again today. I've used them several times in the past. Flew in for the day and asked Maintenance to service the nose strut of my 172RG while I was there. Cheerfully agreed to do it and then didn't charge me. Just wished me a "Merry Christmas" and thanked me for doing business with them. Updated facilities are nice. Thank you, Rick Aviation.

  My family and I flew in Newport News to attend my son's playoff game in nearby Poquoson. Rick Aviation treated us, and our little 170, like we were flying a Citation. Service driven personnel and spotless facilities made our stop great. I was expecting to rent a car, hoping to bum a ride, but I was thrilled when offered the courtesy van for a 3 hour period. I'm not saying we should ever expect to use a car for that long but it was late, the airport was dead and the after hours employees made a reasonable decision. Thanks!!!!

  I am based at nearby Williamsburg Airport. Bill, the avionics guy at Rick Aviation does my radio work. He performed my Garmin upgrade and my altimeter and transponder inspections. Great, detailed work, that is always on schedule and reasonably priced. Highly recommend.
 
From James Hopkinson on 17-Nov-2010

 
  Whenever I am traveling up and down the east coast I usually plan my fuel stops at Rick Aviation. Their service is great and they have now upgraded and expanded their facility. Clean and spacious with a great flight planning room, pilot lounge, and kitchen. All new and without loss of the great service I have learned to expect.
 
From David Williams on 16-Nov-2010

 
  Flew in early from KOFP for business and Rick Aviation staff were on the ramp waiting for me. I was charged a 5.00 ramp fee in addition to my 12.8 gallons fuel purchase but that seemed reasonable.
 
From James Ronnau on 25-May-2010

 
  Arrived on a rainy Monday. Rather than a cab they gave me a ride to my destination. Above and beyond.
 
From Jim Bemiss on 22-Apr-2010

 
  Had a flight down to PHF yesterday for a business meeting three miles from the airport. Rick's was great. Loaned me the car and had me topped up when I got back. Really nice folks.
 
From Dave Touretzky on 03-Apr-2010

 
  Flew in on March 25 and the folks at Rick Aviation couldn't have been nicer. Helped me tie the plane down, then one of the line crew gave me a ride to Hampton University. Departing on March 28 was also a pleasure.
 
From Lon J. Sauter on 30-Nov-2009

 
  My wife and I flew into PHF in our Twin Comanche on Nov 24 to spend Thanksgiving at Colonial Williamsburg. We usually go into JGG but the weather was bad and we needed the ILS to get in. We cannot say enough good things about the staff and services at Rick Aviation. We were provided shuttle service to and from Colonial Williamsburg, the fuel prices were good, ramp fees reasonable, and the people were very helpful. This is our new destination for future trips to Colonial Williamsburg. Thank you all for making our Thanksgiving trip a great general aviation experience.
 
From David Reuter on 28-Nov-2009

 
  I stopped at Rick Aviation in my DA40 to drop my son in Newport News so that he could easily return to his ship, the USS Enterprise. We were on the ramp about 40 minutes and bought some fuel. It came as quite a surprise that Rick Aviation charged a ramp fee in addition to the fuel. There are better places for small GA aircraft to stop.
 
From Jim Kent on 21-Aug-2009

 
  Rick Aviation owned by John Bombaro and his family are great. They treat you like family and provide excellent maintenance and other FBO services. Stop in at their new FBO facility and experience first class service. My plane is based at PHF and only serviced by John and his staff. Jim Kent N773SB

From Bill Chuoke on 07-Jul-2009

 
  I was extremely pleased with the service that I received at Rick's. Because of weather, I was forced to divert to Newport News. They helped me with luggage in the rain and went well out of their way with assistance on a rental car. I couldn't have been more pleased.
 
From Kevin Cook on 23-May-2009

 
  Wonderful service. Great FBO. Don't need to stop at a fancy, expensive FBO for service. Rick will take care of ya. I was hungry after my flight so I wanted to grab a bite to eat. No crew car available, but Rick to the rescue. They provided a ride for me in town. That's what I'm talking about. Thanks guys!!!!
 
From Rick Norton on 13-Apr-2009

 
  PHF (Rick Aviation) was the friendliest airport that I've landed at in a very long time. When I shut down, the plane was surrounded by at least 3 linemen waiting for me to unload where all I had to do was hand them the luggage and they put it in the rental car (which had been driven beside the plane practically before the plane was shut down). I went inside, signed the rental forms for the car, they brought the car around to the front of the building while I was signing and we drove to our destination Overall, an extremely enjoyable experience! Rick
