No attempt necessary; public record. The airport grant money goes
big time to air carrier airports; smaller amount to GA airports
(and the small fraction who receive grants). And they favor big
city "reliever airports" for grant money. This is to take the
burden off the big airports during rush hour, delaying the air
carriers. An important part of FAA's mission, the latter. And the
grant money for small fields also favors safety improvements,
another FAA mission. And BTW, nothing in FAA's mission is to
foster the GA aircraft industry, nor Boeing. That stuff was
removed from their mission statement years ago.

Right. And using that data, the Reason Foundation shows GA as very
heavily subsidized using miles travelled as the metric.
