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?


I know they are closing Indianapolis Metro and moving it a few miles north,
so that is a 1:1. There was Indianapolis Brookside which closed a couple
years ago and is now housing as well, so around here we haven't gained any
new GA airports, lost one and moved another.
