Looking for a towered airport within PE coverage area
i've rented gates at towered airports in the past, but if anyone knows of any towered airports with FBO owners that might be interested in selling, please let me know.
Re: Looking for a towered airport within PE coverage area
And meanwhile... how about to establish FISO/FSS position on one of those untowered airports with owned FSE FBOs?
Would be good to have at least one airfield with radio station alive. And this will have good educational value on this type of flight service for students.
Additional workload for ATC guys doesn't seem to increase much with that.

FISO doesn't exist in US and I don't know of any Flight Service Stations based at any of the fields in Socal. Flight Service is eventually going away in the US.
Regarding the addition of workload for the controllers, having them open an independent position where there transmissions for that position aren't heard on all the other frequencies they are already working would require a second instance of the scope to be running. That is a significant operational change and not one I am willing to entertain unless it is of tremendous value. I don't see FSS being of tremendous value for this scenario.

Oh, I see. In Europe (and Russia) FISO position is more commonly used. Was not sure about US.

I'm assuming that you are only interested in buying the FBO and not renting gates. If you are interested in renting gates, I did some data "mining" and came up with this list:
KCRQ KSBP KSLI
I can't find any FBO's in the PE coverage area listed "for Sale" on the FSE page. However, I did find this list of inactive FBO's at towered airports. So these may represent "future" possibilities.

Re: Looking for a towered airport within PE coverage area
I had gates rented at RNM and now the FBO is closed.
I know how to find gates for rent or FBOs that are formally for sale. However, if you know of any places that aren't listed as for sale, but you know that the owner might be up for selling the place, please let me know. It would be beneficial for PE to have control of a FBO at a towered airport within the coverage area.
I used to have HHR years ago, but I let it go.

Fullerton Mun (KFUL) listed as for sale
I see that Fullerton Mun (KFUL) is listed for sale. Asking price is 1.5 million.
KFUL is listed as owned by a PE member (Byte Aviation - Fullerton, CA/bytemeleew). Keith, are you still looking for a towered airport in the PE area?
