*** PREVIOUS RESULTS *** While the number of airports in the U.S. continues to shrink, TransportationSecretary Norman Mineta talks about tripling the airspace capacity. Lastweek, we asked AVweb readers what they thought about the GA closingcrunch. An overwhelming 67% of respondents felt the FAA should interveneto protect airports. The other 30% of QOTW respondents thought theresponsibility for these airports lay elsewhere – with local governments,residents, and individual pilots. Despite the differences, almost everyone(except five readers) thought that someone should take action to save our GA airports.
