HC,
We see the Aviation Infrastructure as benefiting the traveling public, fostering commerce, and a function of government just as roads, highways, bridges and the like. Thus, the vast majority of the money paying for this infrastructure is Tax Money taken from various sources but in the end....comes from General Tax Revenues coming from all of us....and not just the actual users of the services (Airlines, Charter Operations, Private Owners).
There is a move afoot to change that but so far has died a death before being seriously considered by the thieving rascals in Congress.
I too shall place a big mark on the Calendar.....and pray your conversion to candor shall continue in the future.
