Default Trouble ahead over small plane fees

I'm not.



Do you know how the AIP is funded, by source.
Do you know if your local airport does a project, it is usually 90% funded
by FAA grants, 5% state, and 5% local???

Do you know about the $150k annual operating subsidies that many GA
airports receive??

Do you know about the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, that determine
tax expenditures for various transportation categories??

I guess not. Just listen to Boyer, and his hyperbole and rhetorical
arguments.

(Why am I starting to see an analogy between the Boyer-types and the
French student protestors?)


I'll answer your questions after you answer mine. That's only fair,
mine were asked first. I'll repeat them for your convenience:

What is your evidence that thousands of GA airports, that is, airports
that have no air carrier or military operations, are being subsidized?

Who advocates subsidies for recreational flying?
