www.privateairny.com Private Air | Winter 2020/2021 33 AVIATION Group. Since I live in South Florida, where Rick Case Automotive Group headquarters is based, I use my Honda Jet to travel to our dealerships in Atlanta and Cleveland. I love to fly as my hobby and so the Honda allowed me to easily visit our dealerships on a regular basis. Also, I fly to all the automotive conventions and meetings around the country. I probably have more hours on my Honda as a private owner pilot then anyone. Every chance I get, I choose to go flying." Today, Rita Case is the CEO of the Rick Case Automotive Group, 16 dealerships, in 3 states and over a $1 billion in sales. Rita has two children in the business, Ryan 39 and Raquel 36, that she works with daily to mentor their career path for the obvious succession plan. Raquel knows the feeling of the rubber hitting the road, as she opened the Rick Case Maserati and Alfa Romeo dealerships for Rick Case Automotive Group. Raquel has tried her hand at flying a helicopter and a fixed wing plane but not yet dedicated the time to become a pilot. Raquel's has been raised to love cars and prefers fast ones with her current car the Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio. "Our future of cars and jets are a means of transportation mixed with personal lifestyle choices. We will always stand by our brands and our company as we celebrate our 59th year in business," says Raquel Case. "I especially enjoy flying with my mom as the jet is very quiet. With the engines on the wings, the cabin is noise-free. I can even talk on the phone at 43,000 feet and no one even knows I'm in the plane." Rick Case Automotive Group has 16 dealerships in Florida, Georgia and Ohio, the Rick Case Automotive Group offers Maserati, Acura, Audi, Hyundai, Volkswagen, Kia, Mazda, FIAT, Alfa Romeo and Honda Automobiles & Motorcycles, including the World's Largest Honda, Hyundai, Genesis, Kia and Volkswagen dealerships located in Broward County, Florida.
