Folks should read the HDOTA statement to gain perspective (see https://hidot.hawaii.gov/airports/hdota-to-transfer-dillingham-airfield-back-to-the-u-s-army/). Dillingham is a US Army-owned airfield and Army operations have absolute priority, which I understand, though these operations may not have a significant adverse impact on GA, glider, and skydiving activities. The HDOTA has been operating under a 5-year lease agreements since 2014 that make major investments in hangars and other infrastructure impractical. While HDOTA has tried to negotiate a 20+ year lease term that would make investment and loans more attractive and available, for unknown reasons the Army has declined. The upshot is the state is spending $1M per year under unfavorable lease terms and wants better lease terms from the Army to continue, which seems reasonable to me. (I wonder how much the US Army is spending each year on maintaining Dillingham infrastructure. Zero?)
