There is a lot of politics in this deal.

In Ebensburg, where they held two events a year, the little airport there was in financial trouble and the investors and the local government were licking their chops to acquire it and to carve it up for sale.

Then the FD came....the airport made tons of money, enough to keep operating and pay their annual expenses, plus some.

This did not make the local investors happy....they lobbied Harrisburg to pull the rug. I see it happened.

You would think the FAA would be the ones with the problem....but it wasn't. It came from Eddie and his pals on the Susquehanna.
