Default HTO convert to Private..FAA says not so fast

https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-n...ource=hs_email

Putting this article here since the Fractional Pilots tend to see HTO quite a bit. The local politicians want to make HTO private, PPR required so of course the local wealthy can still have their jets come in to pick them up. But the FAA just threw a major wet blanket over their plans. Closing and reopening an airport opens a major can of worms and is going to be VERY expensive for the locals and take years to get done. I didn't care for flying into HTO but I like even less these airports trying to restrict traffic because Thurston and Lovey don't like the noise.
