That is a very short-sighted attitude.
Given the fuel I'll be using to fly in, a £5 is neither here nor there, and I can save that by not eating one of the burgers and on the deals I'll be making at some of the stands.
I can't remember whether or not we have to pay landing fees as well,but this is a bugbear of mine.
At a recent flyin at my local field we had nearly 100 aircraft, which pleased us enormously. The we found that no-one had had to pay a landing fee because of one of the free landing offers. And almost no-one took on fuel.
It makes you wonder why anyone wants the hassle of running and airfield if pilots acts like cheapskates all the time.
If I had my way, there would only be 1/2 price landing vouchers. We want these airfields to stay in business and they need income.
