While the number of airports in the U.S. continues to shrink, Transportation
Secretary Norman Mineta talks about tripling the airspace capacity. Last
week, we asked AVweb readers what they thought about the GA closing
crunch. An overwhelming 67% of respondents felt the FAA should intervene
to protect airports. The other 30% of QOTW respondents thought the
responsibility for these airports lay elsewhere — with local governments,
residents, and individual pilots. Despite the differences, almost everyone
(except five readers) thought that someone should take action to save our GA airports.
*** THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ***
This week, we would like to know your thoughts on the missing $100 million for
GA businesses in the wake of 9/11.
