Now that I have again provided the amount of annual funding deriving from
GA fuel taxes (including AV GAS and Jet A), compare that to 2005 capital
grants to airports by looking at the ACTUAL 2005 DATA below. (Note that
these figures DO NOT include the $150K annual operating subsidy that many
GA airports receive.)

DAMN: the subsidies are enormous, as every informed person knows....

I looked at the info above and searched for South Arkansas which is my
airport. It quoted as service level of GA which is how I'm assuming you are
getting that it is a GA only airport. The only problem... This airport does
have scheduled commercial service by Mesa airlines and the specific work
done was primarily for them and the jets that fly for Murphy Oil Corp.

While Murphy Oil Corp is GA they raised over 2 million dollars of private
money for airport & terminal improvements which is a pretty good considering
we only got ~$800,000 in Federal grants.
