People always say that one GA airport closes every week, yet no new GA
airports are opened. I was wondering, how literal is that second part?
Is the total number of new GA airport openings really zero? How long
has it been like that? If one were to identify the "newest" public use
GA airport, what year did it open? Sometimes in the 1970s? 1980s?

Sanford-Lee County airport in North Carolina (my home base) opened in
2000, but it did replace the older Sanford airport (now used by police
to practice PIT Maneuvers and it makes a good landmark when flying
the ILS procedure turn without a hood.)
