All of us hate taxes. But...what industry has received most from the public trough? How many privately funded commercial airports exist? Private ATC? And, how 'bout that welfare boondoogle (poor pay for the rich, in this case; how many working stiffs paid for Sting & Joan Collins to save 3 hours per trip) to the tune of 34 billion, called the Concorde, and it's 1030's equivilent, the R101? Airbus subsidies from European countries, anyone? C'mon, people, at least be consistent. Kill taxes? Be careful, you may get what you want! Sam
Sorry- R101 was the 1930's, not 1030, although its technology resembled that of 1030, as proven by its maiden 'flight' to Egypt.
