The East Hill Flying Club at Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport in New York just got word that a $619,935 grant has been approved by Governor Andrew Cuomo to build a new 2,500-square-foot flight training center at the airport.
A report from WHCU Radio quotes airport manager Mike Hall, who notes that flying club has been the largest flight training institution in upstate New York for years.
Just what this country needs… taxpayer funded Flying Clubs.
F16s have no AESA radars yet, A10s are being proposed for phaseout, B52s and KC135s are in service over 50 years old… but we still have money for Flying Clubs???, to be funded by more wise use of hard earned tax money.
What a travesty.
You got it – ManyDecadesGA!: “Get ______ in the White House – FREE flying lessons for ALL”?
THIS my fiend; IS “what’s wrong with this picture”!
