FAA FY2007 Budget

Right now it looks like there are some serious cuts being proposed, including a complete elimination of the Small Community Air Service Grant Program. This could possibly be the last year such funds are available to airports like ORH, I hope we apply????

Not a big surprise here. If you read Airliners.NET you saw the end coming.

If we didn't get the SCASD in 2005, we must do all we can got 2006. I know here we can't go for Vacation Service. We need daily service so if this is our last year with SCASD, we can hit a homerun with daily service on United to Dulles or USAir to Philly.
