"nh2301 So here's a rumot for you.
OFT is moving out of congested KISM.. How soon? Who knows!"
I highly doubt that for several reasons.
1. Marc has invested too much money into KISM to move now. The building on the approach end of 6 and the old American Fliers building within the last year.
2. 2/3 of the traffic is OFT. Moving that many planes to another airport will just congest that one. And god help you if it would be to an uncontrolled airport. Indian, Brits, and Icelanders all doing their own thing in the pattern? No thanks.
3. Housing. Nearly 95% of all of OFT's clients require housing. Finding an airport with that much available housing would be rough.
4. Instructors. Hard enough to find find/ keep instructors now. Imagine having to start fresh in a new area.
Crazier things have happened there, but I call bs on this rumor.
