Hello all Landing fees are just another legal way that someone can explore the the pocket book of others. The way I see it,,if the Airport is supported by the federal government or recieveing federal funds to keep or improve the airport,, than landing fees should go straight to the government and not anyone local.. Not the city or town, not director, or anyone else.. In fact,, landing fees should be made out to the FAA or other faculty directing this added burden on the general public.. It is nothing more than black mail and I hope it backfires and slaps them in the face.. if you let this go without contesting this,, your already a socialist and ready for the one world order.

Because based aircraft are paying a monthly rent to stay there. . .whether it is a tie down or a hanger.

I guess I'm dense and don't understand….if it is a "landing" fee…..why would based aircraft be exempt? They are using the same facilities as the transient aircraft. From: Sport_Aircraft@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Sport_Aircraft@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Bob Comperini

Yes, aircraft based there are exempt. These are landing fees, and not "overnight tiedown fees". Yes, its quite common for airports to charge a tie down fee (often waived or discounted with a fuel purchase, and usually just for overnighters), but this landing fee thing is just another way to nickle/dime people to death. The businesses and restaurants at those airports should be the ones screaming, since it could mean less transient business for them (after all, many of us fly to some place, for the sole purpose of visiting the airport's restaurants). -- Bob Comperini e-mail: bob@fly-ul.comWWW: http://www.fly-ul.com
