[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps a 4th airport can be put in Frederick. That would probably require an expansion of that crossing from Loudoun.[/quote] The only rational for a Frederick airport would be if they don’t build another bridge. A more likely airport location would be either Bolling conversion to civilian use or something in the Dumfries/Fredericksburg area. [/quote] Bolling? Really? There’s no business case for competing airports on either side of the Potomac, even if severely restricted airspace over DC and Andrews wasn’t a consideration. There’s no viable northern, western or eastern approach. It would also conflict with the secondary 15/33 and 4/22 runways at DCA. This whole topic is absurd. DC isn’t LA or NY. Our airports aren’t at capacity. Oh, and the Marine One flight operations are based at JBAB, as are Secret Service, WH Commincations, DIA HQ and naval support. The only “runway” is a 100x100 foot helipad.[/quote]
