This whole thread got me to thinking about mine. I realized I never read
the insurance stuff at my FBO, but new I was covered. I called just now,
and was told that I would be responsible for the deductible (off the top
of her head she couldn't remember the exactly amount the deductible was,
but thought it was $1000).

Fred:

That's what mine always said as well. Someplace else (can't recall) told me
that if that is truly the case, then see if the FBO's insurance company will
issue a "waiver of subrogation." My FBO called, and got an earfull from
their insurance company. They're now considering changing their prior
stance of recommending only getting insurance to cover their deductible ($5K
in this case).
