I'm not an owner but I have to say I'm stunned...

Considering how much dinero the state of Arizona wants for me to register
earth-bound vehicles, I would have supposed it costs far more to register
an
aircraft than it would appear it does.

Unlike cars, aircraft require basically no expendature on their part for
infrastructure to allow the aircraft to operate, so it basically is just a
cheap tax for them to implement... Easy money, low expendature... Kind of
like speeding tickets for automobiles...
