I visited all of the FBOs withing a two hour drive of me, I live
in Northern Cal, Bay Area, so that is a lot of flight schools to visit.

Wow, that's serious research. My limit is about a 1 hour drive which gives
me 5 airports only 3 of which have FBOs. One of the big problems that I
have is that I am 99% interested in renting Citabrias / Decathalons and
about 1% interested in everything else. Very few clubs have taildraggers
and those that do usually only have 1 or 2 on the flight line. This isn't a
big pool for the aerobatic / tailwheel students. As such, scheduling is
always cumbersome especially for all-day or multi-day rentals.
