Trust me I hate the helicopter noise but that airport should stay. Its the oldest continually running airport in the WORLD! Maybe the FAA restrictions will be relaxed at some point in the future. Plus there is plenty of space available. Many of those car shops and warehouse buildings are for sale by a single owner. It would be awful to lose such a historic airport to development.

Airport in quotes because very few planes actually take off or land there anymore due to FAA restrictions on the DC region. So its sits largely empty, with a few old planes rusting away on the grass, and PG County Police using it as a base for their helicopters. Keep the museum, but develop the airport into something that will benefit College Park.
