So now the top priority is to rename an airport that has been in existence for decades. Most people don't even have a clue as to why the identifier is PVD. It assumed the identifier PVD, as the airport is approximately 7 miles displaced from the capital city. (FAA test question by the way) In fact, the identifier of the airport is actually KPVD. The ID, PVD is the identifier for the VOR. For those of you non pilots, that means - Very high frequency Omni directional Range. It is an instrument that is used for navigation based upon 360 radials. Not all VOR'S are located on the field of the airport. The PVD VOR is located on the field. It is that thing that looks like an old fashion milk bottle. The proposal in this article of PVD/WRK is completely laughable, unrealistic, and is not within the airport designation terminology for a number of reason. First and foremost, there are no forward slash icons on any GPS navigation system. So that identifier could not be programmed into a GPS currently being used. Not withstanding the cost to the aviation community if the identifier is changed. Approach plates will all need to be revised, all GPS units will need to be updated, (although they are regularly updated) numerous pilot resources will need to be updated as well. All because a couple of state reps want to have a photo op changing a name. Get a freakin life already !

If we really want to be creative to have an identifier that is indicative of the actual community, lets contact the FAA and see if the entire aviation language can be restructured so that we can call the identify of the airport as BNKRUPT. The terminology fits the location and also is indicative of the fake mayors financial status.

Flights have improved a bit in the last year, however they remain way off since the 2008 /09 expansion. Flights were down 32 % as of 2 years ago. What are the numbers today as compared to 2008? Still not good.

The fact of the matter is that there are so many more important issues to resolve in this crap hole of a state than the name and identifier of the airport. For example, I think that maybe we can use UHIP to actually identify the current political structure of the state. Unbelievable Hypocritical Idiot Politicians. Or how about LOEL for Last On Every List ?

Rep. Sheckarchi, its not just about photo ops or a trophy of you patting yourself on the back. Educate yourself about aviation before speaking. There is an old saying, (the fake mayor should take note) - If you keep your mouth shut, one can only assume you are a moron. The minute you open it, you eliminate all doubt.
