This might not be your home airport, or your destination airport by any means, but please do respond if you haven’t already done so.
I’m sure those who use it on a more regular basis would be most grateful for objections to any development that would completely destroy the runway, aircraft parking, and tenanted spaces for FBOs.
You’d be grateful if others help do the same when your home or regular destination airport is at threat one day, as opposed to just observing yours and thinking it’s got nothing to do with them.
Relocations aren’t simple. An airport closure causes huge inconveniences for some and for others it’s the final nail in the coffin to pack in their flying activity or their flying related business.
And not many airports have night and IFR capability either.
If we don't take part in protecting GA access to infrastructure, the smaller aerodromes will be built over, the larger aerodromes will have exorbitant handling fees and awkward procedures, and airspace will be over-classified to Class A everywhere.
