TRAVERSE CITY, MI--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 15, 2008 -- River Hawk Aviation, Inc. (Other OTC:RHWI.PK - News) ("River Hawk" or the "Company") announced that it has issued a letter of intent to acquire Riverhawk West Indies ("RHW") doing business as Caribbean Flight Center ("Caribbean Flight Center or Caribbean") from its location at St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. The acquisition transaction provides for a $500,000 down payment and $2 million of Company Preferred Series B stock to be exchanged for all of the equity and voting interest in RHW.

The Company Preferred Series B shares to be exchanged will contain an annual cumulative coupon rate of 8% and call features that enable the holders to either convert their shares to common shares or to elect to tender them to Aerologistics Investment Partners, LLC (a related party) for $1 per share.

In 2007, Caribbean Flight Center is estimated to have generated in excess of $6 million in revenues. Caribbean's revenues were primarily generated from aviation fuel sales.

Calvin Humphrey, River Hawk's CEO, commented, "We believe that Caribbean Flight Center is an attractive acquisition candidate and has the right mix of existing profitability and upside potential that we seek in our acquisitions. We plan to push for a quick closing of this transaction and soon thereafter begin construction or renovation of the office and lobby area of the fixed base operation. We also intend to deploy aviation equipment and aircraft management services in St. Croix as well as develop an aviation maintenance facility and increase the utilization of existing hangar space. In our opinion, the opportunities for growth in the service sector of Caribbean Flight Center are quite substantial and we look forward to completing this acquisition and adding Caribbean to our holdings."
