I think general aviation is in serious danger, so no, I don't believe
that it will remain static. Just as there are no significant private
railroads or trains, there may eventually be no private planes.

And, how many centuries do expect we should wait to find out whether
you're right about that?

Your notion of "private planes" is pretty narrow if you think they'll be
eliminated by closing airports. Around here, there are a significant
number of _private airports_ on large parcels of _private land_ with
pilots that share these resources so that other _private planes_ have a
place to come and go at will. Unless someone starts confiscating property
en masse, I can't see your vision coming true. And, should someone decide
to start confiscating property en masse, I'd point out that pilots are the
single most heavily armed group of citizens that I know of short of those
that belong to a militia as a hobby.
