Class move, John.....kudos

Check your FBO's guys. I have transferred 11CL to wmburns and 2CA2 and 0CL1 to stealthbob. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with L01. That has asphalt runways and I missed that.

Hey big thanks...I know this is an open ended offer but I will make things right.

I will take some time to get up to speed on FBO ops this weekend and get back.

I have been flying my way through the Alphabet Challenge lately and have been ignoring FSE, great chance to get back at it.

Seriously I'm not worried about any repayment.

I'm still trying to take this all in. Still totally blown away. Thanks so much.

Stated looking at the FBO screens trying to learn. At 40 Kg per day of supplies does that mean it takes about 235 v$'s per day just to keep a 4 gate FBO alive? If so WOW!!!! It really does take a lot for the care and feeding to keep an FBO alive.

If needing a "movement" per day to cover expenses, is it even possible for a single FBO owner to make a go of it without a hub to feed reciprocal PAX to/from? If so how is this usually handled? By agreement or renting offsite gates?

I'm thinking I should leave the gates pointing towards KONT.

Set up some supply runs from KONT to 11CL. So let the learning begin.

Is it quite possible this is like getting a gift of a pregnant cat? I may be performing a lot of flights between KONT and 11CL to keep my new FBO alive.

Note, I would like to cover the value of the supplies and fuel that came along with the FBO.

If you're interested I'll change the rental rate on my Dassault to $1/hr and you can carry 15,000 kg's of supplies in at once.
