Trouble ahead over small plane fees

What is your evidence that thousands of GA airports are being
subsidized?



Who advocates subsidies for rec flying?



You gotta be kidding me. Do you know how the AIP is funded, by source.
Do you know if your local airport does a project, it is usually 90% funded
by FAA grants, 5% state, and 5% local???

Do you know about the $150k annual operating subsidies that many GA
airports receive??

Do you know about the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, that determine
tax expenditures for various transportation categories??

I guess not. Just listen to Boyer, and his hyperbole and rhetorical
arguments.

(Why am I starting to see an analogy between the Boyer-types and the
French student protestors?)
