DX,
Interesting. Thanks for that. Without having experienced it myself, the rumor at the time was that the renaming to WIGSP was accompanied by a huge spike in landing fees and a decidedly discouraging attitude to anything without a turbo or jet attached. My impression was that the GA community had completely abandoned the place at it's own insistence. Was that never the case? What you describe as recent changes are more form than function, so was the rumor at the time unfounded?
