In this county, we've one airport closed down (and is now a shopping center that's doing barely OK), restricted operations at another, and we're watching the county supervisors trying yet again to shut down the largest GA airport that takes some of the pressure off the bigger nearby international airport. The same county supervisors who OK'd development adjacent to the GA field, and are now using that development (large shopping mall) as a reason that the airport is too dangerous to keep in operation. It's a revenue enhancement issue at bottom. Combined with growing public anti-sentiment toward private airparks in/around existing or upcoming residential neighborhoods. They have the budget deficit numbers to solve and the phone calls from the citizenry to resolve. Here you have neither. http://www.visualtour.com/shownp.asp?prt=85&t=1217861 http://preview.tinyurl.com/39avgz Use satellite mode The point would appear to be that if your airpark isn't relatively off the beaten path,or required (as Captiva is). you potentially face an ever increasing chance that the gov ain't gonna luv you. Here's a link as to the ammunition that can be used against the airparks from the airparks themselves. http://fmi.typepad.com/lwyp/2008/03/survey-results.html -- Remove numbers for gmail and for God's sake it ain't "gee" either! I hesitate to add to this discussion because I'm not an instructor, just a rather slow student who's not qualified to give advice that might kill someone. |
