Yes, it does. I'm not sure why you won't admit that you're obviously wrong. Strange, that.
Not false. Depending on your source, it's about 104 airports per state. Sorry that you can't do math.
This is my last post in this thread on this topic.
hook_dupin said:Much like home prices and personal income, the difference between mean and median is important here. I think airports per capita or square miles per airport might be better measures of "airportiness."
By any of those measures, this country is flooded with airports that virtually no one uses.
Again, you're starting from the false assumption that those levels are what is necessary for it to be considered a strong community. Just because the levels are below what they once were does not make the current environment unhealthy. I would say that the peak numbers were an aberration. We live in a country that has over 100 airports for every state in the union. We should consider ourselves very fortunate.
To which I'll say, "what to you constitutes a healthy level of GA activity." If we're going to debate semantics, let's debate semantics.
I would say a healthy level of GA activity is whatever the free market supports. GA is already subsidized by the airlines paying pretty much everything into the Trust Fund, so I'm not too much interested in more artificial market enhancers.
