What don't you understand about fuel taxes? Are you working on your
assignment showing costs and fees/taxes paid among the various
aviation groups? If not then you really should stop the GA tax
subsidy rant.

Skylune is an anti-aviation troll. He may even be aware that what he writes
is false, but that won't stop him from writing it.

The subsidy from the AIP fund for GA is small. To help out in
this "assignment," I analyzed AIP grants for a recent year. Let's
take Florida, where there's many "hobby pilots." Exactly 3% of
Florida's grant money went to GA airports, and the projects were
mostly concrete. Recreational pilots are not helped much if at
all by: lengthening a 4,000' rwy, another taxiway, fancy approach
light systems, or an ILS. None of the projects involved
resurfacing a rwy, which we'll say is beneficial to all users if
in bad shape. Also, 8 GA airports rec'd grants, meaning 103 didn't.
