Sorrta makes those $50/year user fees being proposed a non-issue, eh?

Unfortunately, that seems to me to be one of the big things going
against us. There will be very little public sympathy because of the
general belief that people who own and/or fly GA aircraft are super
rich and paying $30 for a weather briefing or $50 to fly an ILS is
nothing to them. While it may be true for a part of the group, the
pilots flying the simpler aircraft (and in this group I include any
pilot that needs to watch their flying budget closely) will really be
the ones that are affected by the user-fees and change the way they
fly--even give it up altogether.

Times like these make me appreciate the existence of AOPA.
