Since a runway lengthening from 5,000 feet to 5,500 or 6,000 is not necessary for any normal GA operations, wouldn't that mean the airport is trying to attract the Net Jet crowd and the other fractional jet ownerships? That would be my guess. Rumor around town has it that they have their eyes on Fed Ex because the costs at BED are much higher (landing fees, fuel, etc....) If I'm correct, wouldn't that expansion actually harm the GA pilot community that currently hangars their planes at the airport? Maybe the GA pilots don't want the lengthening either? Just wondering.... In order for the FedEx crowd to use the airport, it would have to be able to take much higher landing weights than for GA airports. Does anybody in the kneejerk reaction crowd know what kind of certificated landing weights are being proposed?
