So, Air will work, but it takes more effort and includes more risk if not all the air is purged. Antifreeze works without risk and is easier to do.

And using just air will leave some water in the lines. And water sitting all winter will cause bacteria and other things and your lines will need treated anyway. So I am still not convinced air is a better method. And you have to have a compressor that has an oil and water separator on it. Also for the folks using air it sounds like you are still using antifreeze anyway to put in the traps. Sorry I just don't get it. To each his own I guess.
