wb999,
No, I'm not missing the point, I'm offering unbiased opinion based on the fact that I have never been to SZD, I am not from the area and my only experience of DSA was when I flew past in one of a formation of four C-130's with a VC10 chasing our ass during a particular flypast of 1977.
I think you're missing the point, you say that the company only wants to keep one of the airfields open ... Well only one of the airfields is open and it's losing, by all accounts, a significant amount of money.
Would you be prepared to personally financially support the re-opening of SZD?
I very much doubt it!
