Trouble ahead over small plane fees

The point is that very remote areas depend on GA for access, but traffic volume would likely be insufficient to support the financial operations of the airport. If important to access to the outside world (AK and some MT airports), some sort of subsidy would be required. Just as the USA highway system is subsidized such that rural highways still are built and maintained even if the population/traffic flow is less than in suburban areas. Ron Lee

Ron Lee The highway system is NOT subsidized. Federal fuel tax collections exceed federal transporation outlays for roads/bridges/tunnels. The data is available from US Govt. sources. This is also the case for airports. I don't know where "Skyloon" gets the notion that airports get General Fund money.

"Funded" would have been better but Orval makes a salient point. GA pays its way. Ron Lee
