“The problem, Rod1, is that your approach would relegate GA to farm strips.”
No that is not what I am saying. If you take your “licensed GA airfield” and you;
Turn off the NDB
Cancel the license
Abandon the a/g radio
close of the GA flying school and replace with a micro school and possibly Gliding.
Build more hangers (possibly financed by members)
Improve the catering.
Continue to welcome visitors as before and run flyins etc.
You now have what I suspect is a much better business. There are several examples of this, Popham would be an obvious one.
“I think we'll have to agree to disagree, Rod1”
Robin, please understand, I am quite willing to support airfields, but yours has decided not to cater for my type of flying!
