    I've talked to the guys at my local FBO--I think it is more the pilots being uneasy than the FBO itself. If there is a plane at Wilson Air (KCLT FBO), I park, walk up to the fence, take some pictures, and leave. Sometimes they have employees working right there and they give a glace and a wave and move on.

    I think it just depends on the FBO.

    A great deal depends on the FBO, the staff of the FBO and the relationship with the owners. I have a friend who is a GM on a FBO at FLL - I have basically unlimited access to the FBO and the ramp. It's not a privilege that is abused at all - I tend to go when there is lots to shoot or something special in - but - whenever I go - the staff are incredible - and - will tell me - don't shoot that now, etc. Relationships like that can be built....

    I have encountered FBO operators who just ask that you don't shoot a plane while it has passengers near it.
