We feel privileged that we have had the opportunity to be in business at the Fullerton Airport for over 40 years. We have trained several thousand pilots; many of these have gone on to fly for the airlines, achieving a life-long dream. Others have continued to fly "real airplanes" in personal and business flights with family and friends.

We would like to invite you to join us for a tour of AFI's campus. During your tour we believe that you will discover the joy that our family has had in sharing our love of flying with our clients.

From K Crezee on 28-Jun-2009
AFI is a great FBO. They provided free popsicles for the kids and cold H2O for all. AFI arranged for rental car and as usual fuel the tanks at the self-serve pump with a smile. Thanks AFI for a great Disneyland stay!! Note for A36TAT owners. We departed R24 full gross, 88F, ~2-3kt headwinds, using short field technique wheels up 1900ft, cleared 50ft at ~26000ft. Tower was kind and very helpful and coordinated SoCal squawk for flight following before departure. Thanks KFUL we'll be back!
 
From Duane Wilson on 28-Jun-2009
I am so grateful for AFI and their cheerful helpful service. Larry kindly helped me diagnose a problem with my engine. We arrived after hours but a very pleasant helpful young man helped us get our rental car. I've been to AFI twice and will go out of my way to use their service again!
 
From John Makar on 26-May-2009
Great airport even better FBO! No hassles no delays. FBO attendants were available and helpful. Nice clean FBO. Owner of FBO was walking around Sat morning at 8am and the place looked great. I will come back next trip to Disney. Thanks
 
From David Cartier on 03-Apr-2009
We had an excellent experience with AFI. Easy parking assisted fueling and prompt handling of our Enterprise car rental. Disneyland is about a 15-minute drive and the costs at FUL are substantially less than SNA, with very light airport traffic. We'll definitely use FUL and AFI when we're in the area again.
 
From Pat Muras on 27-Mar-2009
Was in SoCal the month of Jan. 2009 and the staff at AFI were very friendly and professional. They let me park in the guest parking for an extended period as long as I was buying there fuel. Very good people and I'm already looking forward to my trip down south again. Also, being that I'm from Idaho and don't fly into controlled airspace much, I found flying into Fullerton a breeze and the tower was very friendly and helpful!!
 
From Dan Streufert on 17-Feb-2009
Good service. Easy in, easy out via IFR. Note that when filing to or from the east; consider making SLI VOR your final waypoint. Most clearances seem to include it, and you'll be routed there anyway.
 
From Inger Fahmi on 03-Jan-2009
We flew in on New Year's Day 2009 and were greeted with a smile by the helpful front desk staff. Our Enterprise rental car ($40/day) was waiting for us. Be warned that the tiedown fees have jumped from $7/night (for a single) to $11/night -- but this isn't AFI's fault, it's the local airport authority. Anyhow, AFI is a great FBO and we certainly will go back.
 
From Simon Stuart on 04-Dec-2008
Flew the family down from San Francisco to LA this week in a P35 Bonanza to visit Disneyland. Chose AFI at Fullerton because of the positive reviews and self serve fuel price of $4. Both were accurate. The gentlemen at AFI were very accommodating to our young girls, 5 & 8 and gave them popsicles, which kept them entertained as I unpacked the plane. Called us a cab straight away. Chief pilot friendly and helpful advising how to depart the area VFR under SVFR. Very nice people. Perfect choice for Disneyland visits. Would go there again.
 
From Phil Blank on 17-Nov-2008
I cannot speak highly enough about AFI. They treated us like honored guests - arranged parking - fuel at a VERY competitive price and made sure that everything was perfect. Great service in an old fashion way. Fullerton is lucky to have an FBO like AFI on the field. Looking forward to my next visit.
 
From Bryan Sanderson on 23-Sep-2008
AFI, as always, was helpful with fueling and parking our aircraft and efficient in getting us our rental car. In my opinion, AFI is a picture of a good family business.
 
From Ken Calman on 15-Aug-2008
On a recent overnight the staff at AFI was friendly, helpful and efficient. They are what GA means. Park in the "AFI Guest" spots!
 
From Bobby Lewis on 14-Jun-2008
GREAT SERVICE...Lost my keys on a recent trip to Fullerton...Bill Griggs Sr. (The Owner) personally walked me to my 182 with a ring of Cessna keys he had collected over the years to try to help me. Also gave me good advice about never forgetting we are precious cargo when flying. Won't forget him or the service. AFI is great!
 
From John Birely on 26-May-2008
I used AFI on two recent Angel Flight missions. Fast, friendly, efficient service. Owner Bill Griggs, Sr. went out his way to make this a great, if brief, stay at FUL.
 
From David Chalmers on 08-Apr-2008
Stopped in for a couple of days to visit Disney. Everyone very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. Check out the amazing collection of model aircraft hanging from ceiling in FBO.
 
From John Ginocchio on 21-Mar-2008
Stopped in at AFI on 3/17. I was met at the gas pump and the staff pumped my fuel at the self serve price. Staff was helpful, kind and friendly. I would highly recommend this FBO.
 
From Ed Owens on 04-Mar-2008
Nice helpful folks. Parked there for two nights while in town for a meeting. Good service.
 
From G August on 03-Dec-2007
We were greeted at the fuel dock and fueled by a member of AFI, then escorted to their tie down area in less than ten minutes. The staff was friendly and helpful. Fuel was $4.75 and tie down fee was waived. A cab was waiting to whisk us to Disneyland for $20. We'll be back.
 
From Todd Ericson, Beech B55 Baron, N9018V on 30-Sep-2007
I flew into Fullerton for a week at Disney with my family. I can't say enough about the service and staff at AFI, except that they are what every FBO should strive to emulate. Exceptionally low fuel prices and tremendous service certainly set them apart. We'll be back.
 
From Bill Gideon on 30-Sep-2007
EXCELLENT FBO!! My family and I flew into Fullerton and parked at AFI during our stay at Disneyland. The rental car we had arranged was waiting for us when we arrived. The employees were very courteous and professional in addition to the facility being clean and organized. Both Bill Griggs, Jr and Sr greeted us and made us feel welcome. Overall, AFI is one of the best FBOs I've encountered and will make a point of using their services whenever I'm at KFUL. Thanks!!
 
From Paul Bockemohle on 16-Sep-2007
I called AFI to reserve a rental car. When I arrived at FUL and pulled up to the BP pump I was met by a courteous young man who offered to top my tanks while I checked on the rental car. They helped move the AC to a tie down and carried my luggage to the rental car. They gave me the SS price on fuel and free overnight parking. All and all a very pleasant experience.
 
From Robert Baker on 09-Aug-2007
Some of the nicest folks you like to meet can be found at AFI; a true family owned and operated business run by Bill Griggs Sr. And Jr. They run a terrific flight school and provide competitively priced fuel, charts, books, and tie-downs and have an excellent rental fleet. In the middle of my flight training I acquired a 1956 182. Bill Jr. was very helpful and went above the call of duty in making sure that my plane was in excellent condition. Bill Sr. Is a consummate senior flyer with years of wisdom that he is always happy to share when asked. These folks truly love flying. Not only is AFI a terrific FBO, but also KFUL is an excellent class Delta airport to visit for lunch or the monthly historical aircraft display on the second Sunday of each month. KFUL is conveniently located in the LA basin, close to Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Newport Beach and many other attractions. KFUL enjoys excellent weather as and is often VFR when the costal airports are IFR only.
 
From George Moussa on 08-Aug-2007
My first time in my B58 into the LA area. The ramp was crowded but they found me a spot for a few days. Nice people and an instructor in the office helped me figure out how to transition over to Santa Monica-KSAN, as it’s a busy area. They fueled the plane at the SS pump, which is really full serve. Rental car was there on time. Their fuel price is very fair and even one of the owners was out on the ramp helping out. I like to see that. I would recommend them to anyone.
 
From Patrick Keating, N66643 on 07-Aug-2007
I come to KFUL a couple of times a year. They always treat me as a regular local aviator. Great service and support.
 
From Kenneth Gardner on 30-Jul-2007
Totally different experience this last visit on Saturday, great service, great attitudes! Thanks!
 
From Fred Mann on 06-Jul-2007
My family and I arrived on 7/5. I pulled up to self-serve pumps. Immediately they pumped the gas for me and directed me to a close by tie-down with no nightly parking fees. My rental car was delivered to a different FBO, but Bill Griggs, one of the owners, rushed over and delivered the car to me within minutes of my arrival. We felt very welcomed and will use these guys and KFUL for my future visits to L.A. Area.
 
From Kenneth Gardner on 05-Jul-2007
Today I was very pleasantly surprised to hear from Bill Griggs Jr. In response to my entry about my experience at AFI. I found him to be very civil, thoughtful and genuinely concerned about my experience. We chatted and I am completely satisfied that it was an anomaly and it will not reoccur. Thanks Bill!
 
From Kenneth Gardner on 01-Jul-2007
After reading the reviews here I looked forward to using AFI on a business trip Saturday 6/30 and 7/1. I was sorely disappointed...No marshaller, walked to the office, rental car person didn't have a clue how to rent a car (the paper work was ready for her) and I was directed to the wrong parking area...Fuel was very expensive! What happened?
 
From Mark Openshaw on 27-Jun-2007
A+ I have been into FUL many times and always use AFI. There is always someone to help with luggage and kids as well as pump fuel at the "self serve" island. When I land I simply taxi up to the self serve island and they pretty much treat me like a VIP from there. The fuel prices on the island are by far the best in SoCal and even cheaper than my own base price in KPVU (thanks to Million Air). I have had experience with many of the staff at AFI as well as Mr. Griggs - all top notch. Getting in and out of the busy airspace is no trouble and the controllers in the tower are cooperative and easy to work with. I could fly into J. Wayne where I would be closer but they do not even know who you are in a smaller plane (A36) at AFI, I feel like a rock star. Thanks to all the staff at AFI, keep up the good work.
 
From Michael Samac on 16-May-2007
Our Beech Aero Club spent last weekend at Fullerton airport. AFI allowed us to us their facility for our meetings, and even provided a "Wings" presentation by one of their CFI's regarding flying in the LA basin. Bill Sr. is one very nice guy. I recommend AFI to anyone visiting the LA basin they are great.
 
From Nick Filimoehala on 01-Apr-2007
Great FBO. They had our rental car waiting for us and helped carry our bags to the car upon arrival. Good fuel prices, they actually fueled the plane for us at the fuel island at the "self serve" price. Gave helpful advice on navigating local airspace. Very refreshing after spending 3 days in long lines at Disneyland. A++ Highly Recommend!
 
From Ken Lutz on 02-Feb-2007
Feb 2007 update. All the kind words about KFUL and AFI are still true! Great service, friendly, helpful staff and ideal access to Disneyland. A+, this is my airport of choice in the area.
 
From Scott Siemiller on 12-Jan-2007
My family and I arrived on a Saturday at 6:50 am. By 7:00 am there was already someone out putting gas in the plane.... After fueling and getting into the FBO the cab was already waiting. Not only is this the closest airport to Disneyland, but also the greatest FBO ever. It really is the happiest place on earth!!!
 
From Steve Lampert on 03-Dec-2006
Wow. What an outstanding FBO. Bill Jr, Bill Sr and Larry all went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. This is the only place to go if you want great service and easy access to Disneyland.
 
From Stephan Porten on 26-Nov-2006
We have been flying our Saratoga into KFUL as well as many other LA area airports regularly for the past two years. AFI has consistently been one of the top FBO's, anywhere. The line staff, counter staff and the owners themselves are cordial, efficient and helpful. Fuel is always reasonable, and as others have pointed out, they quickly pump the self-serve for you. The rental car is always there and ready; and the pilot shop is great for whatever I need (or forget). These guys should write a book on how to run an excellent FBO!
 
From Mark Leavitt on 23-Nov-2006
Again, AFI does a great job. Even though we come into Fullerton in King Airs, and clearly "cramp their ramp", they are great to us. We have been in overnight at least a dozen times, and they are very accommodating and friendly. They also save us $150 a night tie down fee VS John Wayne airport! Thanks AFI!
 
From Mike Melson on 15-Nov-2006
The comments are all true! Fantastic service. Pulled up to the self-serve and they were fueling the plane @ self-serve prices before I could even get out. They said just leave it there & they would take care of parking the plane for us. The rental car was all ready to go and we were on our way to Disneyland within 20 minutes of shutting down. Thanks!
 
From Rik Vanooteghem on 25-Oct-2006
Ritz Carlton service at Fullerton. The folks at AFI are absolutely fabulous!!! I taxied up to the self-serve pump and they filled her up for me at self-serve prices. They even hand pushed the plane away from the pump and parked the plane for us and offered us a meeting room to meet a business partner! Really nice folks, father and son business the way a successful business used to be run in the old days! Forget the cookies and lollipops, they know how to take care of people the old fashioned sincere way. I was so pleased, I found every reason I could to spend some money at their Aviation shop!
 
From Art Friedman on 29-Sep-2006
I want to echo everything positive previously posted about AFI. Friendly and affordable. Self-serve really isn't. Both times I was there a lineman was pumping gas before I could. It's the FBO you have always hoped for, small-town friendliness, fuel price and service with big-city inventory and location. AFI makes FUL a much better stop or overnight destination than the other airports in the area.
 
From Bill Cola on 09-Sep-2006
After the third or fourth visit, experience suggests that the perfect, and I mean PERFECT service at AFI just has to slip a little; except it doesn't! AFI is, without a doubt, my favorite FBO.
 
From Sean Meckley on 04-Sep-2006
Just want to add my 2-cents to the comments below by saying that the folks at AFI "saved" our honeymoon trip on three occasions during our weeklong trip: we arrived at FUL well after our planned ETA, but the owner (Bill) waited for us 3 hours after closing on a Sunday evening to make sure we got our rental car. Then, AFI coordinated with our home FBO to update the expired GPS database in our rented Diamond Star while we were busy visiting Disneyland (for free, no less). Lastly, after our pre-departure run-up revealed a bad spark plug, Larry and the AFI mechanics turned us around with a new set of plugs in under an hour. Friendly, efficient service all around--these guys will go out of their way to make sure you have an enjoyable stay.
 
From Bruce Roth on 15-Aug-2006
AFI was a good place to leave the airplane for several days. All the staff was friendly. I have usually used Jetsource at CRQ and Signature at SNA; however, double the money isn’t worth it even if I have to carry all the bags. There was no parking charge. I only purchased 30 gallons of fuel. Only negatives are the short runway and the amount of rocks on the ramp. The entire airport could use a good sweeping. I will use them again.
 
From Scott Schroeder, 231LV on 11-Aug-2006
I can't say enough good things about this FBO. I've been using them for many years as they are the closest to Disneyland and provide top quality service. Bill Griggs is first class and goes out of his way to make your stay pleasant and enjoyable. Recently, I was getting ready to depart when I reailized I have inadvertently bumped my overhead light and drained my battery. Bill jumped my plane from his personal truck and sold me fuel off the truck at the self-service rate to prevent me from having to shut down at the fuel pumps. First rate. Scott 231LV
 
From Jack Swanson on 10-Aug-2006
AFI might just be the best FBO in the nation. These guys are unbelievable! After I taxied up to the BP self-serve pump two of their staff fueled my plane (at the self price) and parked it right next to their building. My rental car was 10 steps outside their front door and they passed me a couple of bottles of ice water as I headed out for Disneyland. When I returned 2 days later and tried to pay for parking, they just smiled, told me to forget it, and pulled my plane out for me. I don't think G-IV crews get treated this well at Signature! GA would be doing a lot better if we had more FBO's like AFI. You MUST stop here to believe it!
 
From Ben Eveland on 08-Aug-2006
I recently stayed at AFI for three nights. They kindly comp'ed me on my stay for topping my tanks. And to boot, when I left my a/c keys at the hotel, Bill (the owner) drove me back to retrieve them. Outstanding service! Thank you Bill.
