I am a retired professor from the U. of Florida who is writing a guidebook to the Hillsborough River. In my final chapter I write about the Peter O. Knight Airport, but am unsure about the following: I read where one hundred planes use hangars there, but my editor wants to know if any regularly scheduled flights use the airport.
Can you help me with this?

Thanks.
