AIRPORTS IN TROUBLE
Heard from johngalt57 today.
He said out blog was at the top of the list in the search engines. We discussed airport issues and decided that
a national organization to protect airports was an excellent idea. We will be running this by AOPA, EAA, NBAA,
and every aviation organization we can think of. I think the response to the crooks that want
to close airports, would be stronger if more than one airport at a time was
voicing their problems. Kind of like “MESS WITH ONE AIRPORT, YOU MESS
WITH ALL OF THEM.” Johngalt57 was telling
how the local airport is run by a county commission, and they are using St.
Clair as an example as how to close an airport.
I thought that was what AOPA was supposed to be doing? That is what they claim to be for? If AOPA cannot do it, maybe they could help fund a coordinated effort?
ReplyDeleteThis is the scenario I warned Mr.Dunn would happen if AOPA allowed St. Clair to set a precedent on how to close an airport.
It seems to me that all you need to do is bribe a couple of senators to close a airport.
ReplyDeleteI believe this is an issue of national concern. If St. Clair goes down, then the odds of our airport being sold increases. Our local jerks will go around and "educate" other public airport owners about how to do the same thing.
