A landing fee would not seem so bad...
I read a lot of unhappy posts about landing fees here. Everything is relative!
During the 5 hours I spent clearing snow and ice from my runway yesterday, so I could get in 20 minutes of flying for the first time in a month, I had a lot of time in to think: How nice it would be to only have to pay a landing fee, and have all of this work done for me all of the time!
I'm sure that it is a bit annoying to feel the pain of landing fees when you fly, but think of it this way, you did not have to pay to buy the airport, the equipment, or maintain it.
Now I'm going flying again, before it snows more!
