True - I can only see radar vectored ILSs as a positive thing, although it will take a while to get a radar head close enough to the field for SRAs. Equally, I'm quite in favour of Class D airspace as long as it's well managed - more separation and control can't be a bad thing, especially if it stops people hanging around just outside the ATZ... On the other hand, I'm still nervous that coupled with that Master Plan document GA could end up being very much at the bottom of the food chain. Of course we'll give way to IFR traffic on final approach - but recently I've been held long enough to get carb icing due to a bizjet backtracking the full length when I could've gone and turned clear before he was ready to go. And then I had to be held for wake turbulence etc... Slightly petty I know, but it could be a bad sign.

Might as well give them a chance anyway - things can always change.
