How do you figure, with the 05 capital grants obviously exceeding the
peanuts collected in AV gas taxes?


How much was collected in AV gas taxes in 05 and how much was spent in
capital grants at airports served only by AV gas burning GA aircraft?



Add in the amounts provided for annual
operating subsidies (which I don't have yet), and you get a MASSIVE
SUBSIDY. (which, by the way, the Bureau of Transportation STatistics
study confirms. GA gets a bigger subsidy than AMTRAK, for goodness
sakes.)


You get a subsidy if more is spent to benefit a specific class of user than
is collected from that same user. You have yet to show that is the case for
AV gas burning GA.
