Super nice folks at AFI. Rental car was as requested, tie down was no charge, staff was super helpful and very pleasant. It is a pleasure to see a small airport so well run. I highly recommend this Airport and FBO.

Landed here last year, only to find the convenience and service just as friendly and easy as the last visit. Fuel at the assisted/self-serve pump was quick and easy. Was offered a ride back to the FBO office after tying down in the transient spaces, about 200 yards distant. I fueled on arrival, and then put the airplane away. This time I called ahead to AFI and requested a rental car from Enterprise. This is the preferred method, rather than call/book with Enterprise directly (even Enterprise said to book through AFI). The car was ready for me early in the morning (Enterprise brought it over the prior evening). Picked up the keys and was out the door in 10 minutes. Return just as easy--AFI will time stamp your rental return and the charges stop, even if Enterprise picks the car up the next day. Overnight parking was free with fuel purchase. This is still the most convenient airport to Disneyland: just 15 easy freeway minutes away. Great people here. Come visit!

These guys were great, they were servicing the self-serve island and I got the self-serve price out of the truck. Very friendly and helpful too. Highly recommend.

A quick turn to pick up grand kids turned into the most impressive experience with the good folks at AFI. Called about 3 hours before arrival to arrange a rental car. AFI staff took care of that quickly and as requested. On arrival, I parked on their line. Line staff was assisting another customer, but hustled out to help me position the aircraft and tie down as quickly as they could. The rental car paperwork was ready and I was on my way about 10 minutes after landing. I returned from my errand to find my fuel order not completed, however was given full service fuel at the self serve price. That was worth the short wait! Bought a terminal chart, quizzed the commercial pilot candidate working the desk about the preferred northbound VFR departure procedure, and we were outta town! Perfect stop! Excellent service!! Very friendly and helpful staff. Say "Hello" to Mr. Griggs while you're there. He's an institution and knows how an FBO and flight school should be run. "I shall return".

When my family and I landed at the airport the tower directed us to a spot for parking. Larry from AFI was already out and waiting for my twin. He helped with the unloading of the bags and tie up. We had a few issues with the rental car at an off airport location but the staff there contacted them for me and worked out some minor adjustments. I would use the FBO they're top notch and if your destination is Disneyland I would say this is the stop for you. Purchased fuel for my plane and instead of using the self-service island Larry had the fuel truck come to my plane. The service here is great!

Stopped at AFI in our A36 and tied down for 3 days for Disneyland trip after having been forced by weather to land short in the high desert and rent a car two days prior. The staff at AFI treated like old friends upon arrival and again upon departure. I regret that AFI didn't make a dime from our visit. My tanks were nearly full so we didn't purchase any fuel. The staff loaded our bags into a pickup, and offered us a ride out to the plane where he unloaded the bags next to the plane. He then adamantly refused payment or a tip for their trouble or for the tie down. We try to visit southern California every year and AFI will definitely be our FBO of choice on our next visit.

Flew into FUL for a couple of days at Disneyland with the family. This is our second trip to AFI and they are terrific. They met us when we landed, showed us where to park, help load the bags and get the family to the FBO while I secured the airplane. By the time I was done with the airplane, the cab they called had arrived to take us to our Disneyland hotel. Upon departure, they had me pull the plane to their fuel island where they had already brought out our bags. They pumped the fuel while I loaded the bags and the family. Super friendly, very responsive with excellent service! Thanks!

This is one of the best FBO's I have been to. I fly over 300hrs per year so I hit lots of FBO's. Bill, Bill and Larry are great. I couldn't take on any fuel due to W/B and the 3000 ft runway but would not hesitate to pay a ramp fee, but they would not let me pay. SUPPORT THESE GUYS IF YOURE IN THE AREA!!! Thanks Guys

Closest airport and most convenient airport to Disneyland or Knotts. Fueled at the AFI pump (set up like a self-serve pump but their line service performs the fueling, then go inside to pay). AFI's free overnight tiedowns are equally close to either AFI's building or the main airport terminal building (accessed by gate with code). Be aware City terminal only open 8A-5P. After hours bathrooms were not found (so "GO" prior to airport arrival). AFI staff is really nice and accommodating. Try Alex at the discount taxi service "Cheapest-2-Ride" (714-280-3035): $15+tip one-way to Disneyland. Try to book a day ahead for prompt pick-up. Would suggest airport place a porta-potty somewhere on the ramp for after-hours.

WOW. A one stop shop - affordable fuel, battery jumps, rental car, tie downs, pilot shop, flight planning - with service that makes you feel like a long lost family member. Before flying in from Las Vegas, I called and Bill Jr. suggested a different route to minimize turbulence (it WAS smoother). When my battery died, Nathan provided a jump in what seemed like a nanosecond. When tie downs were full, Nathan volunteered to escort me to tie downs on the southwest ramp and back to AFI where my rental car was ready to go... During what I later discovered was his break time. Unbelievable. Don't miss the hand carved planes adorning the ceiling of various rooms - the artist works in residence and is a fount of knowledge. Bill Sr. runs a great operation and was kind enough to allow this first time visitor to interrupt his day and chat. I will definitely be back!

My six year old and I flew down for a three day visit to Disneyland over the Christmas weekend. AFI were friendly, informative, and generous: an awesome FBO.

Arrived at Fullerton airport on 9/12/11 to find rental car ready to go, with free parking for the week in front of the tower provided by AFI. They provided a gate card so we could drive up to the plane to unload, and then again on 9/16/11 when we returned to load the plane. Required to pull up to the pump for fuel, but an AFI person did the fueling and topped off the pressure in the main tires with no extra charge. Fuel price at the pump was much cheaper than from the fuel truck. Wonderful customer service. Will definitely use AFI when I return again to Fullerton.

We stopped at AFI recently on our vacation and wanted to write and commend Larry and the rest of the staff for providing such great service. Not familiar with the area, they took the time to answer all of our questions and took great care of our airplane while it was hangared there. We would highly recommend AFI! Thanks again for everything.

Easy in and out for Disneyland. Best part was Gary's Aircraft Detailing. Recommended by FBO. Best aircraft detailing ever. Aircraft looked new. For anyone staying in FUL for a few days I highly recommend to call Gary at 562-743-9656.

This was an outstanding experience. They pumped self serve fuel for me, and service with a smile. Provided help with baggage, both loading and unloading. Met Bill Griggs Sr. and Bill Griggs Jr. Both were very polite and helpful. I'd highly recommend this FBO for any trips.

Great service. I flew into KFUL on 2 Apr 11 for a surprise trip to Disney Land. They gave me great info in advance of my trip, pumped the gas for me even though I was at the self-serve pump, provided a tie down (free) and even helped with telling the kids they were going to Disney Land.

Perfect place to park and head to Disneyland. Even though it is "self fuel" AFI was there to fuel the plane for us, call a cab and help move the plane to their transient parking, which, curiously enough, is some distance from their office.

Excellent service. Called ahead to insure space and was able to tie down for our stay at no charge (several days). Flew several short hops (Catalina) while staying at Disney. Refueled on original arrival and at departure after the short trips. Mr. Griggs Sr. is a wealth of info and gave us the tour of the facility and their simulators. Helped us with loading and unloading. Hoping to return soon.

Flew in with three passengers for a weekend at Disney. Taxi company took a little while to pick up, but the person at the desk was helpful and called again. On return, fuel order was completed as requested, reasonable price and no parking fees. For LA area, the IFR arrival and departure was pretty smooth. VOR approach puts you on downwind for Rwy 24. Anaheim 3 departure climbs you to the East before turning North and West towards the Bay Area. Not a luxurious operation like you'd see at Burbank or Santa Monica, but I'd use them again if I'm headed to Disney.

7/28/2010 was my third visit to Fullerton. As usual, the staff at AFI was helpful and courteous. They have fuel either off the truck or at the pump. They pump the gas for you at the pump and the guy at the pump recommended I get gas there since it was the least expensive he had. There was no overnight tie down fee either. Whether it's a trip to one of the nearby theme parks or business in the area. Fullerton and AFI are what I highly recommend for all my flying brethren.

Based on the recommendations here, I called ahead to make sure parking was not going to be an issue as I was staying for a few days. Bill went out of his way to tell me the best VFR route in from my direction, gave directions to where they are on the field, and offered to get rental car for us (we already had that covered). Very helpful. The "self serve" pump is manned by an AFI - no need to get out of the plane. On the way out of town, they got their pickup and carried all our bags out to the plane saving my wife and I multiple trips, and gave us cold bottled water. Really nice to see this kind of operation still exists in GA. Kudos’ to AFI - we will be back.

AirNav works well for flight planning with fuel stops. AFI at Fullerton was friendly, courteous and helpful. We are glad FBO's such as AFI update their information regularly so we have current information to work with. In addition, as a courteous they are happy to pump your fuel at their self serve station still offering the self serve price. Thank you AFI, we will be back!
