McCain's antipathy toward GA turned me off of him for good. An Alaskan
understands general aviation.

McCain has a major bug up his tailpipe about corporate welfare (not that I
disagree) and I suspect he's got corporate jets in his eyes when he talks
about this stuff. Which means he may or may not realize that his policies
wouldn't mean much to the whales but would kill off a lot of us guppies.

Anybody know how much we pay into the federal till through taxes on Avgas?

The total collected is around $60 million which is about 11% of what it
costs to run FSS alone. These numbers were in a recent AOPA magazine. GA
is not paying its way.
