[quoteThey called it "cost recovery" and was a series of "one time fees".][/quote]
AEROMEDIC, cost recovery came into being in the '90's. Prior to that, we all paid air nav charges. A fuel levy came into the scheme of things just after, from memory.
Anyway, I've had the best years of aviation in Australia and I doubt any of you younger pilots will have or even see how good we had it then.
I sincerely wish you could.
