AVweb‘s “FBO of the Week” ribbon goes to a relatively new FBO, Air 51 at LEX in Lexington, Kentucky.

AVweb reader Graham Richardson discovered Air 51 “quite by accident”:

We were stopping for fuel at [another FBO] as is our habit when at LEX when we passed a spectacular P51 Mustang heading out for an evening flight. I questioned ground control and found out that the owner had just opened a new FBO called Air 51. We changed our destination and taxied down taxiway Delta to the nicest airport facility I have ever seen. Service was imediate, friendly and competent … free soft drinks and popcorn [and] a brand-new Porsche Boxter convertible loaner car. … This was the best FBO experience I’ve ever had in over 20 years of flying. I only hope these guys go national.
