Line Up and Wait
Does anyone have any idea if an airport or pilots group has used a website like Kickstarter or Go Fund Me to raise funds to match FAA grants? Long story short our county commissioners want rid of the airport(http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum/showthread.php?t=70187) and have tasked the pilots with coming up with the match needed for FAA funds. We have missed out on close to $1million in funding because of their nonsense. The local pilots association has presented the idea of an assessment levied on box and t hangar tenants, as well as tie down tenants, but this May not be enough to cover future obligations for the matches. There is also some grumbling among the tenants as well. So looking for ways to raise money and avoid a ****e storm and keep the airport from closing. The projects that need funding are critical to the future of the airport.
