Sell ORH

ORH can be an asset but it will be one under the current management structure. As I have been saying of late, sell ORH to MassPort (or anyone else). Just read this story about how activity keeps increasing at Hanscom Field. Eventually MassPort will need ORH as a third airport to alleviate the pressure on MassPort and Hanscom. It truly makes sense for MassPort to own and run all three commercial airport in Mass. I remember the term "Economies of Scale" from college and I think it would apply here.

Here is a part of the story (I had no idea Hanscom was this busy):

March roared out of Hanscom Field like a lion with a double digit increase in operations.
On April 18, the Hanscom Field Advisory Commission learned the total number of operations between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. increased 13.7 percent last month, jumping from 13,073 in March 2005 to 14,869. Last year, June was the busiest month at Hanscom with 17,751 operations.
Sara Arnold of Massport reported that every category of aircraft, including single engine and twin piston planes, was in the air more this year than the previous March.
