Does anyone have any additional information about here piloting?

A fellow on the Bonanza list flys out of Sedona. According to him,
Cindy is indeed a pilot.

Thanks.

She owns some sort of a business jet,

From the news reports I read, the jet is operated by her late father's
corporation.

but I'm unsure if she flys it.

If I recall correctly, on Leno's program she indicated that she was
piloting small aircraft. I took that to mean four to six seat
singles.

From your post it sounds like she does.

I doubt the took the time to master operating a biz-jet yet alone find
the time to remain current and attend recurrent training, but you
never know.

Certainly seems at odds with John's stance on general aviation, no?

I'm not aware of candidate's stance. I suppose, if one considers that
he refused AOPA president Phil Boyer's appoint to the federal
Management Advisory Committee that he heads, it's not to difficult to
see he's not a GA advocate.

His attitude is apparent in this hearing transcript:http://bulk.resource.org/gpo.gov/hea...106s/80849.pdf

McCain has Boyer pegged for the liar that he is. Give him hell,
McCain!!

I don't know who's pegging who.

But I do know something about creeping fees.
Remember that Alternative Minimum Tax, that was only for the rich? I
nearly got hit by that, and by no means am I rich! (Or I'd have the
little airplane!) the AMT nearly bit me because I was putting so much
in 401k and Roth accounts, which I have to do since I have no other
retirement sources.

I have no doubt at all that what might be just for "corporate fat
cats" would soon include fat cat owners of C152s. All airplane owners
are rich, remember?

To me, the fuel tax is a very workable answer. You can charge it to
the little Cessnas and the big jets as well. It doesn't require any
additional overhead for accounting. The only issue there would be
those who are using autogas. But hey, nothing's perfect.
