I found the receive over one-third part, but not the less than 2% part.
Of
course, it was a quick scan after having a few glasses of wine. I have to
admit you do provide valid data to backup your points. How, and where, do
you find this stuff?

There are intangibles that can not be calculated, however.

Where do commercial pilots receive their training?

Where do many corporations fly into and out of?

How many corporations base their operations in a certain community,
partially because of a GA airport being handy?

Where do police, and air ambulances, and organ transports, fly into and out
of, and base their organizations?

How much does this compare to many other infrastructures, that has users
that do not pay enough to keep the asset in good operating condition?

There are more examples, but I have already wasted too much time, rebutting
skyloon's rants.
