Hmmm, it would seem that wholesale deliveries of 100LL would be a
constant that one could use to estimate the annual number of GA flying
hours... The industry reports those sales with great regularity
because the 100LL refiners use that data to plan production...
And, insurance companies get an annual report of claimed hours flown
for setting the premium for the coming year, another possible yardstick
that is industry published...

Now as to those fabulous subsidies to GA... It seems that I am not
getting any of that sugar spread on me and I want to know where I can
file a claim so I can be reimbursed for the 60+ years I have been
banging around in airplanes and not even one damn penny has ever shown
up in the mailbox... I gotta tell ya that I'm really torqued off over
being short sheeted all these years..
