Default General Aviation Dead?

I haven't renewed my PPL this year and one reason is that the airport
I fly out of is a) under runway construction and b) filled with daffy
old pilots.

Try sharing a single TO/L runway with a bunch of glaucoma-laden
morons. lol. When you choice on TO abort is "which set of mangroves
do I ditch in", you're better off grounded.


Reality Check

Doesn't exactly look dead to me.
