Damn socialist, elite-serving, richman's hobby coddling, subsidy sucking podunk airports.
They are an important part of the National aviation system.
Do you really want Dr Flaum, the 'private pilot'
no experience, no commonsense, no idea, no radio, semi panicked General Aviation flyer mixing it up with the big boys at O'hare, Lax, or other level 3 airports?
I've seen this up close, and believe me, you want that squirrel to be flying into a littlt bitty, teeny tiny, itsy bitsy corn row airplane patch.
It is in everybody's best interest to keep em out of traffic.

How long have you been a private pilot, dumbass? I've said for decades it was a dirty shame when the government stepped in and put many small PRIVATE airport operators OUT OF BUSINESS. Once upon a time a man could buy some ground, build some runways, rent tiedown and hanger space, and offer repairs as well as buying and selling aircraft. But no, the government decided they could do it better and figured out a way to destroy an entire industry in just a decade or so.
I've been tired of financing peoples hobbies for a long long time.
As far as keeping them out of traffic, dumbass. My guess is you don't know the difference between IFR and VFR and the rules that govern them. I'm guessing the only thing you've ever really piloted has been your mouth and it's likely you've crashed often from its use.
