I think it is very sad that we are losing more and more FBO's around
the country. Just yesterday I received notice from an FBO (Wings) that
has been in operation in Saint Paul for 39 years is now closing
because of lack of funds. If the only way these FBOs can stay in
business is to charge higher fees for fuel and add a ramp fee for
parking, then they need to do that and we have to support them as best
as we can. Otherwise, we will continue to lose FBOs, training
facilities, GA pilots, and ultimately the airport. I don't like paying
these fees either, but I know that most GA FBOs are not making a ton
of money but are barely hanging on.


Again, I repeat my challenge. If anyone thinks the FBOs are charging
way to much, start your own fuel business, charge 10 cents/gal less
and become rich. If it doesn't work, then maybe the FBO isn't
overcharging as much as you think.
