I think its utility will be a lot less valuable once the "free"
period has expired for all of the GA businesses. The beauty of
the original site was that it had all available info about FBOs
and fuel prices around the country and all of the info came
directly from the horses mouths (us). Once the site is reduced to
info about only businesses that paid up, it ceases to be the all
encompassing, one-stop-shopping resource that it once was.

I think you hit the nail on the head. First of all, I have high praise
for the good things that Paulo and AirNav have done for the aviation
community. User feedback (good and bad) is something you rarely see
and helps with flight planning.

I wouldn't have a problem if Paulo decides to put small advertising
banners at the top of the page, after all, many other websites have
done this and running the site isn't free. Removing certain FBOs takes
AirNav down to the level of corporate sites (such as Millionaire,
Signature, etc.) where you'll see nothing but fluff.

Again, truely sad.
