What airport are you talking about

DED

The current AFD shows that Daytona handles approach and departure and
there's no tower freq listedhttp://www.naco.faa.gov/pdfs/se_56_30AUG2007.pdfand it looks like it seldom
averages more than 2 IFR operations per hourhttp://flightaware.com/analysis/graphs/airport.rvt?airport=KDED.

It was just approved last year. Engineering and planning are going
on now. Not sure they even have an announced opening date.


But all that aside. Do you really think that the incremental cost to the ATC
system for the services provided to a Cessna Citation III are really over
$24/hour? If not then GA is paying it's fair share because the ATC system is
primarily there because of the airlines. Others use it because it is there

Well, I'm not commenting upon all of GA. The comment was made
that
GA jets would "get along fine" without ATC and I think for the true
business jet traffic that just isn't true.
