A bunch around the NY area were negatively impacted also.

I think the majority of this money is supposed to be used for GA
businesses effected by all the TFRs.

Good point. Has anyone actually compiled a list of FBOs impacted by the
TFRs?

I can't think of any outside of the D.C. area, and around the newly
enlarged
Camp David TFR -- but surely there must me more to justify $100 million?

And Crawford, TX.

And just about everybody inside the "Enhanced class B" for a while.

Frankly, I was denied use of my leased property at VKX for over six
months. They owe me at least $500.

Nobody could fly for a similar amount of time at HPN either, and their
tiedowns start at $240 per month, and hangars are around $800 a month.
Those bills had to be paid regardless of the fact that we couldn't fly.

So I feel sick to my stomach when there is talk of giving the airlines
billions while ignoring private owners. At least the airlines weren't
attacked by their own government.

Nope. HPN was fine once the enhanced class B restrictions were
relaxed. VKX didn't get opened up until they got done rectal probing
the pilot population. You still have to stand on your head to get in
and out of there.

Standing on one's head probably violates some FAR.

"Fine" is a matter of opinion. For a few months it was only possible to fly
with a CFI on board. Remember that absurdity?

Actually, it was more absurd than that. If you held a student pilot
certificate, you were permitted to fly without an instructor aboard.
