[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 735598, member: 12952"] [B]Re: Obamanation here today[/B] MARLBORO (WBZ) ― They weren't just any helicopters – they were Marine One and five other choppers that descended on Marlboro Airport on April 1st. The President was all smiles, but months later, the visit is all a memory, and airport owner Bob Stetson is digging in his pockets to try to patch all of the damage left behind. Stetson says the presidential motorcade took its toll on the state's oldest privately owned commercial airport, and damaged the grass and the edge of the runway. He says it is his mission in life to preserve this airport for future generations, but it will cost about $100,000 to repair the damage. Stetson hopes the federal government will help him out. Unfortunately, regulations prohibit privately owned airports from receiving federal funding for repairs. [/QUOTE]
