Airports as Creative Free Enterprise Centers:
a new model for governance and growth
by Aron Faegre
Freedom is one of our most important and basic American values. Thus it should be no surprise that the first successful powered aviation vehicle was created in our country, and that this new mode of transportation has been nurtured, grown, and matured here. This is because aviation, at its root, is about freedom. Flying is mans ability to have freedom in the third – vertical – dimension. After 10,000 years of mankind's wandering to and fro over the horizontal plane, American inventors Orville and Wilbur Wright, created the first successful "air-plane", that allowed us to begin exploring the freedom of this vertical plane – this "air-plane."
