Apparently there is some European Value Added Tax that is going to
increase the cost of private aircraft tremendously...soon. (After the
1st of the year? I don't remember.)

FYI, thre is no such thing as a European tax (camparable to US federal
tax). Every nation within the EU has their own tax laws (though there
are some efforts for harmonisation within the EU).

Perhaps NWPilot can fill in the details here? There is some reason
that he is suddenly in tremendous demand to ferry a bunch of Cirrus's
to Europe before the end of 2007 -- and it had to do with taxes.
Dunno which ones...
