What really ticks me off is that I have to pay $25 to get back into my
own country when I fly from Canada to the USA. Now THAT really bugs me.

AFAIK, that's a Canadian "Exit Tax" and not a US re-entry tax, isn't it?

I remember having to pony up when leaving Vancouver a few years ago and I
was so taken aback that I involuntarilly just spat out "Yer Sh*ttin' Me,
Right?"

He wasn't. Er, sh*ttin' me...nor amused.

It's a US Customs tax, just for airplanes.

I assume that's the customs sticker fee your writing about. At least you
only have to pay that once a year.

Yes, but in my case, I always seem to have to go to Canada at the end of
the year for business, which gives me about 25 days use out of the sticker.

It sure would be nice if they made the stickers good for 12 calendar
months, instead of just to the end of the current calendar year sigh.

All grants for GA airports are "pork." Users should bear 100% of the
capital and operating costs of the airports. (Same for dual use and
commercial airports...)
