Accepted & no offence taken - it is hard to get the right tone sometimes online! Yes, I'm have a feeling that GA will struggle to stay at INV, it probably doesn't help when the SATCO states that he wants all GA to leave "his" airport (yes, he really did say that...). That wouldn't be a problem if there was somewhere for us to go - I for one would have no problems leaving the HIAL umbrella to go somewhere where we felt more valued, didn't have to fight bureaucratic inefficiency on a daily basis just to get what we're actually paying for - hangar charges to name just one - but sadly there is nowehere else. Dornoch only has so much room, I can only safely get my own aircraft - 4 seat STOL retractable tourer - in & out of Knockbain on a very favourable day with half load, etc... Maybe HIAL build us another airfield we'll move?? Unrealistic, but I can dream.
