Sure I believe it, not lies. I have a C-172A in the hanger on my property at our airpark. I don't have to talk to anyone
or even pay any av-gas taxes because the plane flies using auto gas. If I want to travel to California I can file a
flight plan and go anytime and just about anyplace. This is definitely one of the amazing freedoms in the good ol' USA.

Car gas costs 2.25 right now, and I burn about 9 gallons / hour. My annuals cost maybe 1 amu per year (knock wood!). Do
the math, it is really not too bad...
