FBO = Fixed Base Operator

These are individual companies (one or several) located on airdromes
that rent airplanes, give instruction, fix and inspect birds, sell
gas, etc.

The abbreviation has been used for so long here in the US that we
forget there are others that don't know the etymology.

I will be in Birmingham England next week and would like to know if
there are any FBOs there where I could get a plane and an instructor.
Any suggestions??
