To anybody that thinks what is going on with the combination of FSE and PE is small, check out page 7 of the March edition of "The FSE Reporter". There's a section call "The Blackbox" it's full of basic statics about FSE operations. Note which airport is #4 on the list with 375 operations..............

When I said small, I meant the number of PE owned FBOs.

Keith, I wouldn't presume to second guess your marketing efforts. However, if the trade off of possibly losing a few jobs to non-PE users is the potential to increase the PE user base, I think that is risk worth taking.

If I had never heard of PilotEdge and got curious about why 46CA was getting so much activity, the first thing I would do is a Google search of "Rancho Vallecito fse". Give that a try and look at the results. I realize that picking up a few retail users via FSE is probably not hugely significant, but additional exposure of PE to flight simulation enthusiasts is never a bad thing.

Interesting point.

I guess we'll find out at this point since it is in FSE Reporter. I guess the next step would be to mention it a few times on the forums and then check the signup sources on new account and see if anyone is mentioning FSE when they do sign up. I'll consider doing that after the next set of projects is completed, or if I get some spare bandwidth one evening.
