Will the “replacement” Transpark airport be better and safer than the old?
No, the replacement airport will be inferior. The present airport has cross runways. The proposed replacement airport has only a single runway. The present airport has a site-specific state-of-the-art instrument landing system. The ILS cannot be moved to the Transpark airport. And the large bill owed to the FAA for the ILS system will come due. Safety will suffer without an ILS.
