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?



For your convenience, I will re-re-re post the United States Bureau of
Transporation Statistics data that shows GA as having massive subsidies.
That is only partial evidence; other data abounds.

For your additional edificiation, I suggest you look up how much your
beloved avgas taxes contribute to the entire AIP pot: you will find it to
be under 3%.

Your second question: Boyer, who wants fuel taxes left intact, who
advocates for state tax subsidies, etc.

Happy?
