Heard from a source at
VB, who talks to upper echelons at ASA, that maybe ADS-B is not going to happen. Just the navaid replacement plan @ $83 million.
Not to mention the SSRs that they will have to stump up for and maintain.
The window is closing for subsidies. No sooking in the years to come, when ADS-B is mandated and you will either have to keep clear, or have the equipment. He who pays the piper will call the tune.
I don't think there will be much sympathy for the GA flyer, when put against the safety of 100+ paying passengers, when the opportunity to get a subsidy was put to them and they knocked it back.
