Good story, Amelia. Clear, no-nonsense reporting that lays out what’s happening, why it matters, and what’s at stake. No hype, just the facts.
10 to 12 years! That sums up nicely why nothing gets done properly. At our airport the county wants to build new hangars and we’ve already spent a half million dollars and used 4 years just trying to get EPA approval to build on a runway that was laid down in 1938. An absolute waste of time and money with virtually no end in sight.
Presidential TFRs are another whole topic! They are a solition looking for a problem.
