  • Today we're taking on FBO reviews. Brace yourself as we visit what looks like the most rundown, shabby FBO you've ever seen. But wait - there’s a twist!
    Join me as I approach this decrepit building with low expectations and a heavy heart, only to be shocked (and disgusted) by what I find inside.

    Yeah, we hear about these famous FBOs in Australia. Here we get a club house with a fridge full of soft drink with a 'honour system' with a jar to pay into. Maybe clean toilets, maybe, and usually a 4-5mile walk to the main centre of town.

    All these comments calling out your FBO mistake are wrong. The original abbreviation, invented in 1906, stood for "Fortuitous Bathroom Option". Read a history book.

    I went to an FBO once, they made me pump my own gas, there was only some kind of atm that only took money, and the building was so small it only had room for a hose and a spool of steel cable. The only saving grace was the modern open air concept of the bathroom.

    I am torn, the vieo was great, but I can't help but think real FBO reviews would make fantastic videos. What do I know, you are the smart one on youtube. I just have a lousy day job. My suggestions are probably terrible.

      Back in the day (80s) at my field, one of the open air hangars that backed against a T hangar had a modified oil barrel with kitty litter in it. That was it for facilities. Now it's quite posh. They're building air conditioned full bathrooms among the hangars, and a nice commercial ice machine.

    LOL. That FBO is a real craphole. Funny note, the owner of that airport had a cow when we were based there about people walking across the runway to get to the cafe. Or just to see what's on the other side. One day, I saw three brick sized chunks of asphalt or concrete at the north end on the runway. I called the owner to report it and he said if I came to his office he'd give me a broom. I politely reminded him that we aren't allowed to walk on the runway and hung up. So glad we are at Denton!

Here at KTOA we have a few businesses but no FBO as one would know it at all! Shucks, for a thousand a month you get a stainless steel toilet with a lizard in it (really), potholes in the taxiways (we have a few missing planes after they landed) and sometimes the lights and access gates even work! I'd say be happy for watcha got, even if it's a bit rough 😂. Keepbthe reviews coming!
