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.
What is "its way"? Remember, GA uses less runway and probably (because so
much of it is VFR) less ATC than the airlines. That spam cans are slower
isn't an issue really, since their trips may well take the same number of
minutes or less, on average, than airline trips. How much would it take
for bicycles to pay "their way" of the land transportation infrastructure?

Re-read the 2nd half of the first sentence. Considering the airlines hardly,
if ever, use the FSS..(??).
