Avoca, PA /January 9, 2007/ Avfuel Corporation Industry News/ -- FirstFlight, formerly known as Tech Aviation, continues to expand its business as a multi-location provider of private aviation services.  In the past 18 months FirstFlight has acquired premier fixed base operations (FBO) in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Garden City, Kansas.
