When people ask Talbot County’s Craig Fuller about his opinions these days, it is more likely to be of a political nature.
There’s a good reason for that. Craig was one of the early members of the Reagan team that moved into the White House after the 1980 election. From there, he became the chief of staff for Vice President George H.W. Bush, and later chaired Bush’s transition team after the 1988 vote.
And a lot of people are asking Craig Fuller’s opinion these days. He can regularly be found on cable news as a commentator or writing Op-Ed articles for leading journals.
One can count the Spy as another media outlet also seeking out Craig’s thoughts, but with an entirely different subject of mind, namely small airports.
Beyond the significant political experiences the Fuller had in his early years in Washington, he left public service to become the CEO of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. During that time, his familiarity with rural and small regional airports was not only part of his job, but he was also able to critically evaluate the good and the bad ones of the more than 5,000 small airports in the country.
As the Mid-Shore approaches the annual Airport Day at the Easton Regional Airport on September 30th, the Spy saw this as a perfect opportunity to talk to Craig about the importance of small airports and his thoughts on ESN.

Scott Hamilton says
Mr. Fuller eloquently addressed almost every single aspect of the excellent Easton airport except why it does not have commuter air service to Dulles, BWI, or National. It seems strange that Talbot residents aren’t able to make connections to those airports but rather must suffer a two or three hour car ride to start and end an air trip to the rest of the world.
