"Skylune" made like a vulture, circled and
lied :

Probably just the useless, recreational form of GA is dying for economic
reasons. And this is before the user fees are enacted! Outstanding!


Let's also get rid of:
1. national parks, as they serve only recreational uses
2. state and local parks (ditto above)
3. golf courses (ditto above)
4. sports arenas (ditto above), plus, they subsidize super-wealthy
owners and players
5. concert halls
6. public libraries, as people can buy their own books


Part of the reason that user fees are inevitable is because commercial
aviation is tired of subsidizing small planes. The upcoming Delta
bankruptcy will shine more light on the huge subsidies that GA is
receiving, from the AIP operating and capital grants, to the FAA system
that GA gets to use for free.


Actually, GA subsidizes the airlines, by providing a pipeline for pilot
training.


The next major GA incident (whether it be another violation of the ADIZ,
or the next high profile crash) will provide opportunity for anti-GA
activists to really pile on. For now, we wait, patiently.

Written like a true vulture!
