A little tape on the N number ought to solve that.

You mean to alter or cover the N number? No. it won't work. SMO is a
towered airport. According to my knowledge from the SMO guys...the fee
is collected for every time wheels tough the ground. A person sitting
in a pickup truck with radio watches whether the plane is tough the
ground on the runway. Therefore, it is free for go-around but if you
stay in pattern for 3 touch and goes, then you pay 3X landing fee.
There is no fee for home based aircrafts and flight school, only the
outsiders.


So the dork in the truck is going to count the poor student pilot on his
solo X/C that bounces 4 times in 1 landing and is going to bill him 4
landing fees?
