No, guys flying Cessna jets and turbine powered airplanes are not us. AOPA
believes that keeping these two groups together, light airplanes and heavy
business operators is the way to keep GA togther. But 172s and CJs don't
share
ANY concerns with each other. I have argued about this with the bisjet
types,
they want BIGGER BETTER control towers, and more involvement for the FAA
in the traffic system, not less. We, the 172 to Bonanza drivers do NOT
share
interest with the bizjet crowd.



So presumably the avgas crowd is "us" then?

I don't understand your response to Mike Rapoport's message. He said; "the
tax on avgas only raises ~$60 million per year according to AOPA. It
doesn't begin to pay for the services that GA uses. Flight Service alone
costs about 600MM/yr." You responded; "Nonsense. That is lumping us
together with airlines and buiness craft." It appears to be just the
opposite.



Are you saying that the cost above for flight services separates out airlines?

I don't think it does.
