It probably should, given that the government is subsidising them, but to my mind the legislation doesn't go that deep. The airport plan will show where the hangars are, and the airport owner will not be able to pull them down and erect something else, but as long as the hangars are there, I can't see a constraint that they be used for aviation purposes. Charging a market rate rent when a hangar is not used for aviation purposes appears to go against the express words of 49 USC 47107.a(13)(B). Sylvia. Which is why community level airports should avoid federal funding. |

Yes and no. Federal funding helps to insulate the airport against covetous local politicians seeking to placate their developer campaign contributors' plans to close the airport so they can develop it. See: Santa Monica for a prime example. Federal dollars are no protection from development. See Meigs Field for a prime example. |

See: Santa Monica for a prime example. Federal dollars are no protection from development. See Meigs Field for a prime example. The problem with Meigs was that they did NOT receive Federal dollars for improvements. Santa Monica received the airport from the Federal government under a clause ensuring that it would remain an airport -- IN PERPETUITY, unless the Feds released it. Reid-Hillview, in San Jose, CA was purchased under similar conditions, with the Feds telling Santa Clara County that they would insist on repayment of their share of the investment, based on sale price -- not just their initial cost. This put a damper on the greedy politicians. |

Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com The federal funds and matching funds are often for large projects which may be of questionable need to the local community. My own city/county airport has a 10,000ft runway which was largely a stepping stone project for the then airport manager who was on the career progression ladder. The next one immediately started recommending a control tower. Then a county commissioner started saying there should be a regional airport halfway between this airport and another municipal airport, a distance of 60 miles. Please. Frederick, MD, airport is another example of how (the promise of) federal money destroys airport use and access. Frank Whiteley |
