A serious post

The ACRP (Airport Cooperative Research Program), which I'm sure many of you
are familiar with, has an RFP out to create a guidebook for managing GA
airports. (As you know, Skylune has long contended that many GA airports
are mismanaged, or try to operate in a bunker mentality -- ignoring the
nearby residents' and business's concerns. But what do I, the Troll know
about anything??? Anyway, if you are interested, check it out.)

Which airports operate in a "bunker" mentality? Airports, like any
other entity that's managed by people, have their share of well-managed
and not-so-well-managed examples. Have you done research showing that
airports suffer more from mismanagement than, let's say, your local
retail clothing chain?

And what is this conclusion based on? Just your own personal
experience? That's hardly any basis for making a blanket statement such
as that. And, since when do you refer to yourself in the third person?

>>>But what do I, the Troll know about anything???<<<

I've been asking the same thing for quite a while now.

Actually, I've never heard of them.

I wonder what their agenda is.

A bunker is a good place to be when you suddenly find yourself under attack.

According to the web site the study is paid for by the FAA under the Vision
100-Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act. I see no reason to think there
is some evil motive?

Thanks, that'd be worth looking into I suppose if I was knowledgable in
that field.
