So many critical airfields have either closed, are being run-down or are under threat. "New airfield" is practically an oxymoron. Flying clubs, the maintenance organisations, the instructors, the insurance companies, we pilots, everyone in the community is going to lose out. I hope the day will never come, but eventually critical mass will be lost, the industry will collapse and perhaps, if we’re lucky, we can look forward to a 10-mile jaunt in a pilotless taxi-copter.
I hope those responsible for demise of Coventry, should it eventually happen, find themselves persona non-grata throughout what is left of the GA network until the day they finally discover there’s more reward in supporting and contributing to our community, than their big pile of money can ever give them.
