Good point on the military aircraft going around because of the civvie traffic. Downunder the civvy aircraft don't pay anything for shooting an approach etc at our bases - it's free. We have to (well, the tax payer) pay for movements at little country airstrips. It's not to pay for repairs etc. though, trust me - I had a $1400 claim placed against one of my moves in a military aircraft. I blew away $1400 worth of dirt from the side of the runway.

What got my back up was flying aid into Indonesia after the big wave, and being billed landing fees for it!
