Why haven't rental rates come back down?

I am still missing to stand at the rim of the Grand Canyon ... :-( I'll be standing there in the third week of August. Plus several other National Parks in Utah. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP Sold KSWI |

Is there some invisible expense increase at FBOs that's keeping their prices up or do they not understand the laws of price and demand? -- Dallas I think that many FBOs were just losing money during the fuel increases and are now recouping. -Robert 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? Zack Sten |

Zack Sten Zack, We'll be staying at the north rim cabins. They say it is a 5 minute walk to the rim. We will have already been to Zion prior to going to the Grand Canyon. We'll have to compare notes. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP Sold KSWI |
