Oh for gods sake......... So many fragile egos.

This has nothing to do with the cost of flying. I merely point out that those who choose to fly at the cheap end of aviation seem to expect that the fees of the places they wish to visit should match their budget with no acknowledgment that these airfields run as a business and have to cover overheads regardless of how small the budgets of those who choose to visit them are.

My comments are nothing to do with the difference between IFR and VFR pilots are where we all came from. It just reflects that those actually using the services provided by such airports seem to have a little more realistic understanding of the fixed costs associated with such places.

What ever your view of me, it seems to be a fact born out over thousands of posts that the average VFR pilot i.e one who does not or cannot use the full facilities of such airfields expects to pay less for not using them despite the fact that they are part of the fixed operating costs of such establishments.
