Default Why haven't rental rates come back down?

I think that many FBOs were just losing money during the fuel
increases and are now recouping.

The FBO at has been under new ownership for less than two years and is
currently in default with their mortgage company and the airport's
owners. Their rental planes have all been grounded since January. A year
ago there were five CFI's available; Today only one, and that poor guy
has to work behind the receptionist desk. Anyone interested in
purchasing a potentially viable facility located at a towered airfield
in Pennsylvania?
