This is the tower the same owners built at KTME. Nowhere close to $12M there. http://www.houstonexecutiveairport.com/tower.htm

The OP has a bad habit of throwing out his observations and opinions on the immenance of GA's demise in these threads every couple of months and then stays out of the multiple pages of replies discussing how far off he is. Definitely a peculiar obsession.

Maybe they're being paid for?

The Jet Center does have a bit of a third world feel to it, but always treated good and get that cheaper fuel.

I assume this serves as your regularly scheduled bi-monthly post that GA is beyond saving? Thanks Brien.

Understand your viewpoint, but others might call the same thing progress. Thus is the evolution and gentrification of towns/villages. Not unique to Port Aransas. You can't get people in AP to take the ferry and come work on the Island?

Not uncommon in any form of property lease. Leasehold improvements belong to the property owner at the end of the lease, no compensation.

Jay - you've shared versions of this multiple times, all with contempt for the "out of town billionaires". You do realize that through their property holdings on the island, they are paying a significant amount of the county's budget for operations, not to mention school's, fire/ems, etc...

Uggh - that's how every ground lease I've ever seen works

Despite the fact that your premise has nothing to do with the reason for pilot medical regulations, let me give you something to consider. Think of it differently as it relates to KPIT. In 2016, there were an average of 22,766 passengers per day. Add in all the employees, etc. Does a dozen (or...

Is this topic in lieu of your regularly scheduled "GA is dying because of......." threads?

Nobody is at that beach that doesn't know about the arriving and departing aircraft - that is why they are there. There are a dozen or more cruise excursions specifically for taking you there either by boat or van to experience it. There are bars that have the tower feed on speaker and...

I am sorry you had this experience, but don't understand how you keep making this airport out to be something it isn't (not going to use a word like busy or anything else - you pick the word you like). But, it is nothing more than a sleepy, country airport. Certainly not a lot of traffic out...

Appears you've edited the OP to remove references about the supposed proximity of the airport to Houston and the cheapest gas driving traffic. No problem, cause that wasn't remotely accurate for this sleepy little drome.

Two issues: Eagle Lake is nothing like the "big", "busy", or any other adjective the OP described it as. Also, who said the ag plane bitched about anything. They saw and avoided.

He used the owner's A&P for doing the annual. Good luck finding many sellers who will let any other A&P do an annual on a plane they own.

This. Or since the OP had already been hostile on the radio, he may have felt quietly avoiding any interaction was the best course of action to avoid any further beligerence or worse.

Damn - there you go blowing all the "big airports and Signature suck" crying with facts

For $100 a month to get access to better facilities and services (especially on field maintenance), easy decision to move. Sad that the current airport has declined to make it a no brainer though.

Numerous "I've already paid for it through taxes" scattered throughout. Of course, I guess you can argue that's not expecting "free stuff", but MetalCloud's assessment was accurate.
