Oh, you're funny... 

Though I suspect the quote question was made in jest, an FBO is a Fixed Base Operator (link)

Thank you for the topic idea, Cadet Williams. I am sure there are a wide variety of unit meeting facilities out there.  Some meet in armories and other military facilities, some meeting in commercial buildings and office space, others meet in churches, schools and other public buildings.  There are also squadrons with their own buildings.


My squadron has our own buildings plus a T-hangar on the airport grounds at KFZY. We also borrow a large classroom/assembly space and kitchen from the EAA building next to ours when needed.

 Airport hangar/FBO

[LtCol057]

We have our own building on the airport (RWI). It used to be an FAA FSS, now just houses some FAA radios.  We have 2 offices, comm room, class/meeting room, storage room and a kitchen. We have full use of the building (except for 1 room with FAA radios).  The airport ops manager is one of our 2d Lts. He occasionally uses the building for classes for the local FDs and EMS units.   In our old building, if we had over 10 cadets show up for a meeting, it had to be outside. A whole lot better now.

My unit meets in a large room with 2 offices (one for CC, one for storage) and a large classroom at the US Marine Corps Reserve 6th Comms Battalion at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, NY.

Floyd Bennett Field was the first commercial airport in NYC and it then became a US Naval Air Station, then US Coast Guard Air Station. It was closed in early 90's as an airport and is now owned by the National Park Service as a part of the Gateway National Recreation Area. It still has old runways that are used for occasional fly-ins, has a small aviation history museum, an aircraft restoration project hangar with many historic US Navy, USMC, and Air Force aircraft being worked on, is home to NYPD Aviation, NYPD Special Operations Division training facility, Dept of Sanitation training facility, a community garden area, radio controlled car racepark and radio controlled aircraft area. It's also a great spot to fish and has a the only campsites available for the public in NYC. It is also the home of the Aviator Sports Center with large indoor and outdoor facilities for just about every sport known to man. A retired British Airways Concorde is on display in front of the Aviator and is available for tours in the summer until it is transferred back to the USS Intrepid Sea-Air-Space museum.

Check it out, it's a very important place in aviation history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Bennett_Field

My house  (AKA-Unit HQ)

We all gather round the dinner table and what not.

[DogCollar]

We meet mostly in an elementary school gymnasium that has an attic storage room for our "stuff."  Once a month, on Aerospace Education night, we meet at the local county airport.

Still looking for a home, could say "homeless" Not having much luck. Local community center wants $50 hr 3 hr min, & $500 deposit.

No churches in area, waiting on school dist.

Used to meet in a National Guard Armory, but we've since moved to the 9th Bomb Squadron Headquarters on Dyess AFB.

Meeting room at the terminal for North Las Vegas Airport.

[Stonewall]

My squadron is blessed with the support of the Jacksonville Airport Authority and are given a building free of charge.  Large meeting room, 2 smaller rooms, kitchen, supply area, bathroom...

We meet at our airport's terminal building. In the building, there is a conference room that is used for classes and what not. Thankfully, the building was recently expanded, adding several extra rooms. We're in the process of renting out one of those rooms for good. For now, the FBO is letting us put our gear in a closet inside the room. It's much better than storing everything in the van
