Been through HKY twice. They called that an FBO.


How about that! How recently?

Yes, FBO fits, but I think terminal also fits, don't you?


I think that a terminal is something that an FBO might or might not have.

MacDan at CDW has tie-downs, a school, hangers...and a terminal. These are
distinct (with the school actually being in a completely different
building). And, of course, the school is relatively unadorned while the
FBO is seriously plush.

Oddly - in my opinion - the school is where you'd need to go for aviation
supplies. The terminal has a pilots' lounge, but if they need a chart they
need to visit the other building.

[I don't care for the coffee at either location, though, but at least it's
less often burned at the terminal grin.]
