it would be almost the closest airport, or driving to omaha's airport. my feelings is that if the government subsidies for rural airports is either eliminated or significantly decrease, what role will that decrease provide for the other major metropolitan airports? will it increase prices? it is one of the internal conversations that the united states senate and the house of representatives need to have, what are the potential benefits for shifting funds to rural airports in order for us in rural communities to have access to flights, as well as whether or not there will be an increase in rates at the metropolitan airports. keep in mind, i do understand that the same time that these rural airports, they do charge more, believe it or not, compared to these metropolitan airports. plus, a significant portion of this funding is locked into construction projects. i do hope that that conversation is being had as to whether or not this shift of funds for us to go into our car and drive, for me, would be a minimum of three hours to drive toward moscow, whether t
