That's debatable. All three are lousy.

Although I agree that DC does not need a 4th airport.

Huh? I just flew in from Dallas to IAD.

Right? Dulles has lots of domestic connections.

Dulles is a hub for United.

Why? Neither of those places offer flights to destinations not served by our airports.

You said they were too busy. You have other options.

We don't need a fourth airport. There's plenty of room to expand Dulles' capacity on its current footprint.

IAD and DCA will continue to cater to the region's business and leisure travelers while BWI will remain a mecca for the budget airline experience.

How about we improve our rail network and use the airports for longer distance flights. Trains are so much more comfortable.

When I owned a plane I kept it at Montgomery Airpark. Just get your own plane.

Where exactly would this 4th airport be located?

Manassas where the current regional airport is located.
