So don't believe him. Believe AOPA and EAA.

As it happens, AOPA had an item in this week's newsletter, saying they don't
think there's a problem. I'll take their word for it. See
http://www.aopa.org/advocacy/article.../080328fl.html for the article.

Note that the letter they quote from the Florida Department of Revenue,
while saying that they are working to change the law, includes language that
confirms the original story:

"If an aircraft is purchased in another state by a nonresident and brought
here for repair, training, or business use within 6 months of purchase, a
use tax may be due."

If they weren't going to charge the tax, why would they say that?

It's not about Zoom. It quit being about Zoom the moment AOPA and EAA
reported it. Zoom is totally irrelevant to this story.
