Appreciate Bigears you do not want to get drawn into a debate. Ditto.....

But, this is at the heart of the issue. The general war cry from the GA community is, we want as cheap landing fees as possible. How many individuals would go to Oban if the landing fee was 100 quid.?

Probably none.

And yet, we all want the facilities, we want the bells and whistles, but expect someone else to foot the bill.

In fairness to ABC, they built a pretty good facility, staffed it accordingly, and yet kept the landing fee at 15 quid. Taxpayers footing the ever mounting shortfall, which by the way is about 500k per annum.

And we will not even discuss the subsidised air service
