The Beginnings

Richard Coon developed Rico Aviation from a former company in 2002. The name comes from combining the first two letters of Richards first and last name. Over the next decade, Rico Aviation began a period of unprecedented growth.

Richard began to hire on a staff of dedicated pilots and medical professionals as well as add new aircraft to the Rico fleet. Rico Aviation continued to soar sky high as the 2010’s began.
