Now they have plenty of time to send $6 invoices to Sundowners who do
one T&G.

BDR didn't charge landing fees for T&G aircraft. If it ever happened it
was a mistake as nobody ever paid anyway.

How does it work at fields where locally based aircraft are exempt from
landing fees? Do the guys in the tower just recognize the tail numbers of
every based aircraft?

Years ago I did a T&G or something at TEB (Teterboro). Many months later,
my flying club presented me with a bill for $5 (or whatever it was) for the
landing fee. I figure at least $50 worth of various people's time must
have been wasted collecting that $5. Record the tail number, look it up in
the FAA registry, send out a bill, receive the check, do all the accounting
to show the bill paid, etc, etc. Not to mention the time wasted by my
flying club to go back through their records and figure out who had that
tail number that day so they could route the bill to the right member.
