The Chatham Airport Commission is considering a revised landing fee structure aimed at raising revenue and discouraging use by large or nighttime-operating aircraft, the Cape Cod Chronicle reported.

These are tests, right Amelia? Post an article about an airport, naming only the town but not the state (e.g., Naples, Chatham, etc.) and see if we can figure it out from context? Not too challenging thus far, but just wait until something newsworthy happens at the Springfield airport. Journalism 101.

Cape Cop Chronicle is enough to inform the reader where this airport is. Be nice.

Where do you suppose Cape Cod is?

Is probably up north somewhere. I agree with Rich, the town and State should be mentioned.

I read an airport article awhile back about the Albany airport. It turns out they were talking about Albany NY. Who knew there was an Albany in New York? :slight_smile:

I read AVweb every morning for the comments. The articles are informative, also.

Only one Cape Cod in USA and it hangs off eastern Massachusetts. No one remember the Patti Page song, “Old Cape Cod”?

“impose higher fees as a financial deterrent…$250 for charter and commuter flights”

In other words,
Rich people with their private jets coming into Hyannis Port are not affected. The fees are only directed toward peasants on commuter flights and rentals.

You obviously have never lived in New England especially Massachusetts. Cape Cod is referred to as “The Cape”. As we all know there is only one “Cape” in the USA. :wink::rofl:

As we all know there is only “one” place and it’s called USA.
So yea, it’s Cape America. Simple. :wink:

CQX has been under assault by a group of noise zealots for may years who will stop at nothing in their goal of shutting down the airport. Their demands have cost the town many thousands with no end in sight. These people, oldsters, are a bunch of crochety fools who have nothing but hatred for the airport. The have dreamed up one scenario after another to try to achieve their desire to shut down the airport. Fools

Anybody wanna guess where Cleveland is?

TN, TX, GA or OH? There’s 4, according to Google maps.

Granted, most of us have never heard of the TN, TX or GA ones…

Buried in Princeton, NJ. You’d think in Ohio, right? Nope.

I live in Huntington Beach ca.and from the context of chatham and come cod I determined that we are talking most likely cap cod mass. then of course for the not completely lazy there is a link . it takes you to the cape cod newspaper which mentions local regional airport serving Martha vineyard et al. So with a slight bit of knowledge of US geography one can determine the location. NOW if there were an article about Yosemite Airport who here would not think it was in California?

Location aside, this is why they call these people MassHo, .
If that airport accepted AIP funds, they oughta be in court right now.

There are thirteen Cleveland’s in the United States.

Thread drift warning: speaking of “Yosemite” airport, check out the landing fees at Fresno “Yosemite” airport for GA. Ridiculous. And Mariposa, Pine Mountain Lake, and Columbia are all as close or closer to Yosemite than “Fres-Yes.”

My home airport for many years was Columbia, O22. Yes MUCH closer than KFAT and cars are readily available to drive in. Pine Mountain Lake closer still but I don’t know if you can get a car there. Mariposa-Yosemite another option but again I’m not sure about the car situation. If a person flies into O22 he/she needs to be up on basic mountain flying skills and have great respect for summertime density altitude.
