It seems most of you lament the old days where there were no landing charges or ANCs etc.
BUT we still paid.
I can remember in the mid/late 1980s when I had to pay out something in the order of 30,000 for the registration of my C550 each year. Once paid then you cold fly to your hearts content.
The figures for aircraft hire quoted in this forum for way back then reflected this annual registration cost broken down to hourly.
Still most here are right, coming from a aviation marketing back ground most smaller aviation businesses don't have a clue how to promote their enterprise.
A good example is Bankstown, I am currently trying to persuade my Rotary Club to hold a flying open day with the proceeds going to a deserving charity here. But when you talk to business on the airport they all appear dis interested.
