We're certainly getting hit a lot lately with reporting like this. There was a different kind of article here in NJ a few months back. A factory owner was angry because an air ambulance had moved to his town's small airport, and sometimes the 'copters disturbed him. He was trying hard to get rid of the whole airport, when one of his employees fell into a vat of molten lead and was severely burned. Well, well, well. Luckily the local base allowed the victim to be airlifted to a burn hospital in time to save his life. Otherwise, no way. The factory owner dropped his efforts at closing the airport.

When I read the article it didn't sound at all like someone who hates General Aviation. It sounded like a standard CNN attack on business. ("globe trotting corporate executive") I wasn't sure if I was reading CNN or the Worker's World Daily. No that there is that much difference any more.
