I've been flying since 1987 as both a professional and recreational
pilot (more than 4000 hrs. logged) and have *never* paid a landing fee
regardless of airport size.
Have you landed at Boston or La Guardia?
Crikey, I've seen landing fees posted at non-towered airports, for
planes with turbo engines or more than one engine. Auburn-Lewiston ME
is one such. (I can't swear that anyone actually pays the fee,
however; I've only seen the sign.)
I just checked the AOPA Airport Directory. BOS (Boston) charges a
landing fee, amount unspecified. Same for LEW (Auburn-Lewiston),
though as I recall it doesn;t apply to lightplanes.
