    ⚠ THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Serious answer: "general aviation" is pretty much anything that's not scheduled passenger service or regular cargo service. Private planes, charters, traffic and weather watchers, things like that. The bigger ones that can accept private jet are typically branded as "executive" airports. "Regional" airports can be either revenue service, GA or both.

    I have cut a caper with the dancing mad god
    I have been told by people who are into it that flying small planes is super fun. I figure it's kinda like boating. A somewhat expensive hobby, since it's a couple hundred every time you go up, but if you enjoy it and can afford it, I figure you should go for it.

    embrace the confusion
    I was once flying over some place in New England in MS Flight Simulator and there were so many private airports they covered like half the ground
