NM regulates alcohol service in its airspace
I guess the state of New Mexico believes it has jurisdiction over
overflying aircraft serving alcohol . http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070130/ap_on_re_us/ us_airways_liquor_order "ALBUQUERQUE - The bar is closed on US Airways' New Mexico flights. The state ordered the airline to stop serving alcohol on flights to or from New Mexico after learning that it didn't have a state liquor license. ... They should not be selling alcohol while in New Mexico airspace." I wonder what the definition of "New Mexico" Airspace is. I didn't realize NM had its own airspace. -Robert |

I recall that Kansas wanted a cut of the taxes on alcohol sales based on the time that airlcraft were in the airspace above the state, whether they landed in the state or not. All in the interest of looking at new and imaginative ways of taxing people who don't vote in that state. |

I think they were owned by California Corporations, and were kept in another state to avoid taxes. |

I think they were owned by California Corporations, and were kept in another state to avoid taxes. They do. If you buy an aircraft you must keep it out of "California Airspace" for 3 months (it may be longer now) to avoid paying an 8% use tax on the purchase. Oregon/Nevada airports make a big business selling "Tax Purgatory" space for newly purchaged CA aircraft. -Robert |

Travel within a State is still governed by certain Federal provisions (such as those regulatin the NAS). -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Google "state taxes + airspace + alcohol" and you will find several hits on
the subject (some of them rather old). New Mexico is far from being the new kid on the block. Bob Gardner "Robert M. Gary" wrote in message ps.com...

wrote: I guess the state of New Mexico believes it has jurisdiction over overflying aircraft serving alcohol . On passenger trains, when they pass through a dry (no sale of alcohol) county in my state (MS), they are (or at least used to be) required to stop serving alcohol. I used to joke about it being true on overflying airline flights as well: "That'll be two doll--wait . . . .. . . . . okay, that'll be two dollars." Maybe not far from reality. Rick |
