How much did you pay the FAA last year, other than the same amount that
non-flyers in your tax bracket paid?

Sounds to me like pilots are a lot like farmers, sqawking for the gumbit
to cut their taxes and stay out of their "self-reliant" way, while
refusing to acknowledge (even to themselves) the massive government
spending, protection, and subsidies that make their activity
economically feasible.


What is this massive government spending, protection, and subsidy that
makes
flying economically feasible and what is the source?
