Ok, where do I sign up for a lawn tractor?
I'll store it at my house and perform post maintenance checkups on my own lawn.

... and maybe MAAC can set up a defense fund to fight off the GTAA proposal on behalf of Transport Canada (billions of $$$ involved) for the reliever airport proposed for our current field location? [>:]
BTW, that same land has been valued at 350 million dollars, perhaps when they've won the GTAA case, they can continue to fight any future development proposals.[&o]

Just illustrating a point. Armchair ideas are not worth the virtual paper they are written on.
Bring forward a well thought out prospectus and I'll be the first to champion it to the exec.

Meanwhile, let's let MAAC do what it's best positioned for; communications, representation and promotion.

I hope that you're not being condescending -- it sounds like it -- I particularly didn't like the "armchair ideas" thing.

With you guys sitting on $350M worth of land -- you're history, unfortunately. I think that you are looking at big issues that no-one can fix for a believable amount of money. I'm certain that MAAC can provide assistance, within its means, for field support -- it just hasn't been an issue yet, so no serious thought has gone into it.
