To the Aviation Community, Effective May 7, 2007 Lockheed Martin Dayton
Automated Flight Service will be closing its doors.

Given FAA's FSS "modernization" contract with LocMart is predicated on
a savings to our government of $1.7-billion over ten years, if I
recall correctly, it is inevitable that FSSs will be closed.

It's all about money, not service. Perhaps they should be renamed
FRSs for Flight Revenue Stations. :-(

This was all reported last year, and AOPA supported consolidating 58
flight service stations into 20 facilities:
