Gov't pays for empty flights to rural airports
« on: August 12 2011, 05:29:50 PM »
You can't make this shit up.

Maybe I am spoiled, living very close to a relatively large urban area - but what do you remote folks think?

Is this a good way to promote remote are growth????

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Reminds me of an airport that was built out east...in the middle of nowhere for no reason other than a politician somehow got it approved for his district.
