Congratulations on your ability to extract meaning from a clear
statement.

Which clearly suggested that an airport should be a less appropriate use
than
something else. How many more strip malls, shopping centers, and
landfills do
we need? Something like 50 airports disappear forever every year, is
that
not enough? Tampa is about to lose a jewel of an airport this fall.


Is this statement about the number of airports being closed each year true?
Where can I see data that supports this claim regarding 50 airports a year
closing? I know AOPA quotes it but they do not back it up with data.
