The government has set the rule, but it won't be implemented in real life until the Tax Agency defines the operational details, who, how...

I am new to this forum and couldn't find the first post after many hours so posted again.

Anybody looking for a tow pilot in or around North Carolina? I got someone wanting to do it in your area.
