They don't have landing fees in the USA, generally.

They do at the larger airports - and quite prohibitive too at JFK or Logan, I
believe.
That's why, when I see a 182 at one of these airports I assume it might be an
"angel" flight, because they get the fees waived.

Landing fees in the US are all over the map; generally, larger airports
charge more, but there isn't the "what are *you* doing here" attitude
that I've gotten from my (granted, small) experience with French GA; in
the US, if you're willing to pay up, they're happy to have you.

JFK landing fee (off-peak) for a light aircraft is $25; higher than most,
but hardly prohibitive. PHL and IAD are cheaper. Logan, however, *is*
almost certainly prohoibitively expensive, but the fees get rearranged
often and seem to be charged subject to whim in any case so who knows.
(Really, most places I've dealt with Signature, they may be pricey, but
they've provided good service for the price. Their Logan operation loses
on both fronts.)

Some years back I got in on five bucks. They were having a sale.

Amazing!!
LOTS of GA at Logan, of course - but mostly guys who consider $1000 to
be just one and a few zeros.

Or Angel Flights. No fees are charged to those GA pilots who land at
Logan for an Angel Flight.

New usage for ADF's. Listen to ball games and deduce TFR's.

That's a pretty good reason to keep your ADF receiver (assuming you have
panel space) Backup for other navaids is not such a bad idea, too.

When is the last time any of us flew an NDB approach, even in practice?
It's been months and months for me.

Yesterday... I keep myself night and instrument current, to include
all installed equipment (I have an ADF).

Can anyone point me to data regarding the proportions of the US GA
IFR-capable fleet that have:

A Both an ADF and an approach-approved GPS
B An ADF but no approach-approved GPS
C An approach-approved GPS but no ADF
D Neither
?

Either piece of equipment counts only if it is serviceable.

Alternatively, would anyone like to take a guess at the %ages? This is
Usenet after all, and we shouldn't let facts cloud the issue. ;-)

Take a look at the AOPA 2006 Aviation Fact Card.
