Waco. 6 flights a day on small AA jets, (down to two). Twenty five min flights back and forth to DFW. Two gates. In better times, they have poor delay % and high cancellation rates. Many times end up driving to Dallas or will miss connection.

Other airports:

Elsewhere in the region, Robert Gray Army Airfield in Killeen will receive $2.2 million, Skylark Field in Killeen will receive $30,000, Draughon-Miller Central Texas Regional in Temple and McGregor Executive in Waco will each receive $69,000, and the Texas State Technical College Waco airport will receive $1,000.

The amount of the new relief grants was determined by an FAA formula factoring in operational costs, revenue and combined debt service, which the city-run airport does not have.

He said he is not sure what other projects the money will be used for at the moment, but he has a list of ideas he will review with FAA officials before deciding.

1. Makes sense, the name of the game is to run the deficit up so high that the screaming to bring down

the deficit by cutting programs becomes so loud that it can be heard from sea to shining sea.

2. Do senators and congresspeople use that airport? N/T

3. NO. And the other local regional airport that flies to Houston

and DFW, that's adjacent to the country's biggest military base, Ft. Hood, got only $2.2 million.
