All these comments calling out your FBO mistake are wrong. The original abbreviation, invented in 1906, stood for "Fortuitous Bathroom Option". Read a history book.
Yeah, we hear about these famous FBOs in Australia. Here we get a club house with a fridge full of soft drink with a 'honour system' with a jar to pay into. Maybe clean toilets, maybe, and usually a 4-5mile walk to the main centre of town.
I went to an FBO once, they made me pump my own gas, there was only some kind of atm that only took money, and the building was so small it only had room for a hose and a spool of steel cable. The only saving grace was the modern open air concept of the bathroom.
Back in the day (80s) at my field, one of the open air hangars that backed against a T hangar had a modified oil barrel with kitty litter in it. That was it for facilities. Now it's quite posh. They're building air conditioned full bathrooms among the hangars, and a nice commercial ice machine.
I am torn, the vieo was great, but I can't help but think real FBO reviews would make fantastic videos. What do I know, you are the smart one on youtube. I just have a lousy day job. My suggestions are probably terrible.
I've been toying with the idea of spending up a second channel just reviewing FBO's so people know what amenities they have and can help decide where they want to stop while doing cross-countries
That's the most mortifying FBO I've ever seen...why was there no "piss bush" behind the hangar?! And what was with all the carpeting?!?!! Thank God for the little bistro bar. Keep the raccoons away from MY sandwich that I saved in the back of the C152 for the past four hours.
I never knew what a FBO was. Just call it a fboo. Thank heavens for this video. Now I know it is a really crappy looking building with a rusty door knob and behind that facade some sort of a time portal to another world. Glad you got back out. Don't want to get stucked in another dimension.
LOL. That FBO is a real craphole. Funny note, the owner of that airport had a cow when we were based there about people walking across the runway to get to the cafe. Or just to see what's on the other side. One day, I saw three brick sized chunks of asphalt or concrete at the north end on the runway. I called the owner to report it and he said if I came to his office he'd give me a broom. I politely reminded him that we aren't allowed to walk on the runway and hung up. So glad we are at Denton!
Serious FBO reviews would help, too! Wish all FBOs had the public bubbly urinal. I’d rather use that than the non flushing sideways curtained potty on a cabin class twin after it’s been had at by a 300lb linebacker the morning after that 5lb barbecue rib dinner.
Did this FBO have a dedicated phone for Flight Service? I didn’t see the glass case with engine oil or the fuel prices posted. Was that somewhere else in the facility?
Hi Brian/Bryan/Brhyan/Brian/Bhryan/Brian???,,,, Mr. Super studly pilot! (That's it). That Foundon, Base, Over-priced outfit looks kinda rough. I think I stayed there once. Here at KTOA we have a few businesses but no FBO as one would know it at all! Shucks, for a thousand a month you get a stainless steel toilet with a lizard in it (really), potholes in the taxiways (we have a few missing planes after they landed) and sometimes the lights and access gates even work! I'd say be happy for watcha got, even if it's a bit rough 😂. Keepbthe reviews coming!
Absolutely disgusting conditions. I think you should stay there longer, and fully document how bad it is.. We wouldnt tolerate those conditions in Oz, at least ours have a rusted patina corrugated iron thunder box that is situated in full sun so that you get to experience the full atmosphere of the installation..
How can you walk around in the Texas heat with your pants on fire? At least you have a good fire extinguisher. We review your fire safety video at work as part of our Safety Training. (Liar, liar).
Our local airport has a new concrete 4000’x70’ runway, a really nice fuel farm that works 2 out of 4 weeks and our fbo is literally a port-a-potty. Such a nice runway/taxi’s and all they provide is a portable toilet lol
@@k5sss I agree! I just wish the town would provide an fbo. No courtesy car, expensive gas, and a portapotty. Missing out on our airport generating traffic to our neat little town.
My local field is pretty nice. Landscaped taxi ways and landscaping around the hangars. Air conditioned full bathrooms among the hangars. Commercial ice machines. It helps that the current manager started as a line guy.
It would have been fun to first listen to the video (audio only) to get an idea of the topic, and then watch the video+audio. Brian (spelled correctly)
So...FBO means "Flying Business Office," you say. WOW! You lost all credibility when you made that statement. You either made that up or you were totally duped by whoever told you that. FBO is short for "Fixed Base Operation."
I've always hated misleading thumbnails trying to get me to watch the video. At least you're not that guy.

3:36 I like the Pilot Bidet. Bringing some Euro-style to our US FBO's.

As a tenant of 52F, I appreciate the North Valley Regional Aero West joke.
Sure wish there was a functioning bathroom on the field though haha
Totally agree!

@@JustPlaneSillyleave that for Mr Millican, Bryan. We can't have you getting all serious!! 😎
I was in this hotel 2 months ago. I ferried a brand new SR20 for a customer from Knoxville to Manassas VA. ❤
Nice transition with the door! 👍
I would love to see what a nice FBO looks like. Love your content and home to see you at Oshkosh this year
That's the most mortifying FBO I've ever seen...why was there no "piss bush" behind the hangar?! And what was with all the carpeting?!?!! Thank God for the little bistro bar. Keep the raccoons away from MY sandwich that I saved in the back of the C152 for the past four hours.
Holy cow. What a dump! I’m surprised you made it outta there alive without having to ‘bus a cap.!’
Good that you reviewed the Lampasas FBO first. I recognized it immediately.
That there's the FBO down 'n Lampasas.
THIS IS SOOOO FUNNY!!!!!! Thank you, you made my day much better.
Loved it. Keep them coming.

Do one on Spanish Fork! It will be a blast. Especially the FBO manager.
BRYAN, THAT WAS FUNNY!!!
Saw you land today. New paint job looks amazing
@@JustPlaneSilly Thank you, Bryan, I'm very happy with it. Mark did an outstanding job, and the metal flake really pops in the sun.
FBO doesn't mean Fixed Base Operator anymore?
Not here it dont
"Roof currently under repair" 😂

Aren't FBOs supposed to have a well stocked collection of "Gladiator movies" BrYan?
Yeah… whatever you do…. Don’t take Eren to THAT airport.
She HATES That airport. No bathroom.
It’s been two weeks since we’ve seen anything from you… I’m assuming you were committed and undergoing observation… do you remember any of that???
I’m thinking you should probably expect another call
But here I am riding the Harley in 113 degree heat, so who am I to judge?
"a beverage station to help calm your preflight nerves" ROTFL 😂

OMG! Brian-with-a-y clipped into the back rooms and made it out alive!
Northwest Regional Aero Valley Roanoke Traffic....what a mess we have at 52F!

2:58 - I'm pretty sure that's one of those trough urinals. You don't see them much in the US though
Good one... I was thinking a real toilet FBO was coming when you opened the door!!!!!
What’s the name of that hotel/FBO? It looks familiar. I think I’ve stayed there
FBO manager looks suspiciously like.... me. 🤥
Wow! You caught me flat-footed on that one! I think I may have peed myself laughing. What a terrible FBO! Real dump! 😂
Embassy suites are such a nice hotel chain. Some of the best breakfasts.
LOL I'm glad I'm not the only one who recognized the style!
Another classic.....i have been in an FBO that looks exactly like that in Cedar Rapids.... must be a chain.
Absolutely disgusting conditions. I think you should stay there longer, and fully document how bad it is.. We wouldnt tolerate those conditions in Oz, at least ours have a rusted patina corrugated iron thunder box that is situated in full sun so that you get to experience the full atmosphere of the installation..
Bryan, you are crazy! 😂😂😂. The Omni Flying Business Office?
You ever been to an FBO that makes you feel like the poorest guy at the country club?
Pulling up to Signature or MillionAir in a Skyhawk... yep.
You think that’s bad, wait till your flying for the airlines. Their briefing rooms are unimaginable.
How can you walk around in the Texas heat with your pants on fire? At least you have a good fire extinguisher.
We review your fire safety video at work as part of our Safety Training. (Liar, liar).
That FBO looked just like the one I stayed in Houston.
This is the FBO I want to pull up to in the Champ.
Still looking for the FBO behind a green door ??
I'm at a total loss for words so I'll just have to go with.....Man what a dump!
To me it seemed at least somewhat adequate and minimally tolerable.
The FBO review appears very informative, thank you, except Brian I think you just peed in the fountain 😂
(Doubled as a bidet - it's all fine.)
Well, that's three minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Took you 3 minutes to realize you didn't like it?
I'll refund your money.
Watch it at half speed, then you can really complain!😁
Love it
That was a MASSIVE troll... 😢
I’m sure many of us have been to that FBO…..
Fix base operator FBO I was told by airport manager
You mean it doesn’t stand for Fly Boys Only?
Our local airport has a new concrete 4000’x70’ runway, a really nice fuel farm that works 2 out of 4 weeks and our fbo is literally a port-a-potty.

Better than nothing when you got a code brown.

You spelled correctly incorrectly.
Looks like TKI!!!
Close. 52F
Just on the inside!
Awesomeness 😅😅😅
👍✅And Mr 💥💣 is back!!!! 🤣
LMAO... spewed coffee Guess I am one of the three (Not first)
I was always told that FBO was Fixed Base of Operations.... not Flying Business Office. :)
Glad to see any return to humor, regardless how lame....
My guy, are you being held here against your will?
Terrible looking FBO. Needs a bunch of repairs.😂🤣😁
No, not the worst.
wtf did I just watch?!
an episode of the twilight zone - FBO edition.
FBO stands for Fixed Base Operator.
If you think that, you're on the wrong channel 😂🤣🤣
It's called satire.
Gaylord in Grapevine?
It was the Omni in omaha Nebraska
😂😂😂😂😂
😂
😂😂😂 Fantastic! ROFLMAO!
Fixed Base Operator. Wow, stunning trick photography.
New to this channel are you?
Fixed Base Operator
you must be new here
Fixed...Base...Operator...
Whoosh.
@@k5sssyep. Whoooooooooosh.
Bazinga! 🧐
This person must be new...
@@k5sss HAHAHA!!!!

Check the name of the channel good sir
Not possible for BrYan to lose credibility. He has none. That’s why I’m here!
Amazing how many new people are here and don't know this is a channel for aviation parodies.
Hahahaha dude I love your channel! You are awesome. Hope you are having fun at #osh24
