But, given where this item showed up and the author of it, I'm not surprised. Reading the article I'm not surprised to find his normal Sun and Fun bashing... I first heard about this when Phil Boyer mentioned it briefly at the AOPA Pilot's Town Meeting in Charlotte last Tuesday. It's real. It is very real and is beginning to be a heavily enforced tax source for FL. Money from non constituents, political paradise. |

http://tinyurl.com/24og9o No kidding. The article makes no sense. First it makes it sound like anyone flying down to Florida may get charged this tax. Then it says vehicles that are bought out-of-state but titled in Florida are charged. Well, the same had been true in California for decades. If you put a CA address in the FAA registry for the aircraft address you will automatically get a tax bill. So the take-away of this article is that if you fly to Sun-in-fun don't list your hotel address as the address where the aircraft is registered. -robbert |

In article xBgFj.638$Qv5.93@trnddc03, Mike Isaksen says...
Yup,... I read this article at ANN a few days back and was saddened to think the old Capt Zoom is Back. I had become a fan Jim Campbell's latest effort with Aero-News Net. I visited it several times a week, even beginning to prefer it to AvWeb as a timely info source. I even went over and shook Jim's hand at Hartford AOPA Expo (where I saw him with camera crew in tow), to wish him success with his new Aero TV Video Network. I thought his video coverage at AirVenture was excellent. Unfortunately this Florida Tax article shows his backslide into the nasty side of his Capt Zoom alter ego, where he displays no hesitancy to use his media network against his perceived enemies. I can only assume that shortly before Jim penned that article he had again been denied Media Credentialed Access to Sun-n-Fun. No doubt a harsh reminder of his "ban for life". Mike what you just found out is something a lot of us experienced a long time ago ,the Tiger never changes his stripes. It happened the first time when he was with a California based Magazine, he burned bridges and moved East and behaved himself . Then he had a nice magazine for a while and his nasty backside reared it evil vindictive head again and the zoom wars started in earnest. His magazine went bust.He went quiet again and behaved. ANN started and it's just a matter of time before the real zoom shows up aaaanndd He's Baack!! One thing for sure is that when he's acting up in public he's been active behind the scenes. He's still billing advertizers for ads they don't want. What you did when you shook his hand was to encourage him to think that he's justified in his actions.All he needs is one Atta Boy and he's off and running. He's still a phoney .IMHO.

Chuck S Credibility it was always about credibility....Chuck S Hey Chuck!!! This latest line of zzzoom B.S. is one of those deals that just don't add up. Can you imagine Netjets or some outfit like that flying a new Gulfstream into Florida to pick up a charter and get that tax bill. Maybe the state should just post a tax collector at each gate at MIA and bill American every time they taxi in a new 777. I liked the part toward the end of his rant about SnF inflating their visitor count. I remember when the worthless ******* sued me (I won). He stated under oath that he had in excess of 45,000 paid subscribers to his so called magazine most believe it was closer to maybe 4,000 or less. This is just his latest ploy to stick it to SnF for barring him from the show. You can about set your watch by his annual anti- Sun n Fun rant. Frank M.Hitlaw at my Secret World Hq |

What if the guy bought the plane in Florida, he would owe the sales taxes on it. I can think of other scenarios that could cause this to happen. I don't know but I am very skeptical of anything that comes from campbell. So far we have only heard one side of this story. Frank M.Hitlaw at my Secret World Hq |

I've read the Florida state law in question and it is clear the alleged Meridian and Cirrus owners in question have plenty of legal recourse. The law clearly is on his side if the claims of the original story are true. The following Aero-News Network (ANN) story appears to suggest to me that ANN is specifically trying to damage SnF: http://www.aero-news.net/SpecialCont...616eab2&cat=21 Does the above story sound objective to you? Is the author attacking Florida or SnF? It reads to me like there is an axe being ground against SnF. Furthermore, I can't find a byline on any of the Aero-News Network stories on this issue - it would be nice to contact the reporter and request further evidence. If the people who were forced to pay the tax were indeed innocent, I would fully expect them to want to share their outrage. After all, at this late date the aircraft owners allegedly have nothing more to lose if their claims and those of the ANN reporter are legitimate. Lastly, check out the following thread on another forum: http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum...d.php?p=278784 The post there by a Ken Ibold (allegedly a resident of Florida) suggests the ANN story is a case of poor reporting at best. |

It reads to me like there is an axe being ground against SnF. I should have scrolled down farther past the article and perused the list of stories under "More Headlines". There was no need for me to qualify the issue - ANN by its own admission is out to destroy SnF. |

If so, he has the AOPA and Phil Boyer on the hook too. http://www.aopa.org/advocacy/article.../080320fl.html "The state Department of Revenue has recently been charging Florida use tax on -any- airplane that is brought to the state within six months of being bought if the owner did not pay at least 6-percent sales tax at the time of purchase." Emphasis on the word "any" is mine. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
