rudestuff - thanks for your uneducated, incorrect, and irrelevant post.

What do you suggest they do about it?

You CANNOT fly into OIA for free - but your charges are paid from the Federal taxation system that all United States employees pay into. So the girl in McDonalds on $3 an hour is paying towards your landing fees.

I think your messages would be better sent to AOPA to keep the fight going against user fees - which is where the USA is dangerously heading - then you'll be paying a darned site more than these guys for a landing at OIA.

The USA truly is Gods gift to general aviation AT THE MOMENT - but there are fees and charges for it and you do pay them (it just doesn't hurt as much when spread across however many million people there are paying taxes).
