Albert Whitted Airport (SPG) is located on prime waterfront real estate that the city wants to redevelop into a park and mixed housing area. The city thought that by repaying FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant money it would be able to close the airport. The FAA has determined that the city can't do it. Hopefully this trend will continue. HELP SAVE OTHER AIRPORTS Air Support Volunteers monitor the threat of closing down airports. Evidently there is a threat to four airports in FL – AAF (Apalachicola), AVO (Avon Park), X06 (Arcadia) and X07 (Lake Wales). To nominate a volunteer, who can be yourself, visit http://www.aopa.org/members/forms/asn.html or request info from AOPA at 800 872-2672. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ANSWER TO APRIL TEST QUESTION How can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft?
