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....

If anyone is serious about analysing this, here is a list of part 139
certified airports:

Part 139 certification is required to handle scheduled service over 30
passengers. It's also the basis for determining eligibility for most federal
grants.

In Massachusetts: Barnes, Westover, and Worcester are all part 139
certified, yet lune tries to call them GA airports.
