The next two cover volunteer pilots who transport patients to their treatments and shelter dogs to new homes-both of which will be negatively impacted by user fees. So-if user fees will harm kids and puppies, and Obama wants user fees..... And the sad part is that this is less of a stretch of facts than I usually see here.You are only as strong as the prey you devour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rhaig 0 #2 July 15, 2009 ok... so I only have a few hours of flight instruction and ground school, so I'll claim ignorance if I'm wrong. If flying out of an uncontrolled airport, into uncontrolled airspace (class G), you're not required to even contact, much less actually use ATC services. So under those conditions, how would the $25/flight be tracked, much less enforced?-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're implying that number is small. let me see what I can find within a 2hr drive from my house. Looks like 3, but it's been a few years since I've read these maps. Considering I started by saying I had limited knowledge and admitted I might be wrong, you'd think that rather than a smarmy useless reply, a moderator that represents the administration of this website, might be helpful.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgoose71 0 #10 July 16, 2009 Soooooo....... Between the $25 per flight tax, cap and trade and new fuel taxes the price of a lift ticket will shortly be about $100 now? Also, has any one done any studies to see how the effects of all the newly decaying dead puppies and kids are going to effect the environment?
