I think I need to know your definition of a GA airport. Your earlier post
regarding GA security was clearly at an air carrier airport. Now you're
talking about turbo props and jets.

My idea of a GA airport is a 1900 foot strip with a gas pump.

This whole argument again demonstrates the schizophrenia affecting the
industry. On the one hand, GA airports don't need security or ADIZs
because of the limited payload of the planes (AOPA BS of course, since
jets and turbo props are GA planes). On the other hand, more airports
s/b
built to move supplies in the event of national emegency. Outstanding!

How much good did light GA do after Katrina (yeah, some one off stories
about Angel Flights are easy enough to Google, but what about real relief
to thousands? Light aircraft are useless. Trucks, large cargo transport
planes, or military HELICOPTERs are the way to go here.

Small planes are mostly for training, amusement, or crop dusting in most
of the lower 48. I can see such an argument for very remote areas such
as
Alaska. Of course, my tax $ are going to build a bridge in Ketchikan, so
maybe...
