"Brian Wing and his partner, Jim Kelly, look back at their decision nine years ago to move their Gulfstream jet from Bush Intercontinental Airport to a small airport in Conroe as one of their best moves.
Today, the pair has the largest general aviation business based at Lone Star Executive Airport — Wing Aviation. The company, with 160 employees, caters to business travelers and corporate jet owners who want to avoid the hassles of airline travel." -quoted from the original article.

First...awesome and good for them.

Second...unfortunately it just reinforces that GA is for corporate exec types and business people, the very same people that Joe Six-pack has NO problem tacking fees and additional taxes on.
