Default The subsidies to GA are MASSIVE

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....


Looks like they are classifying airline improvements as GA.

Take a look at Worcester Regional. The improvements were done specifically
to attract an airline, but they're listed as GA.

Why is Westover Airforce Base listed as GA?
