Does not include piston aircraft.....for now. The small turbine guys are screwed if this stays in and gets passed.

That'll be no fun.  Wonder if that will apply to military flights.

Will there be any military flights by the time Obama is done? Sorry, don't want to politicize our forum. I'm upset.

Wow. All they are going to do is pass on that cost to passengers, in one way or another. When will this administration figure this out. The taxes just get passed along to the people who hurts the most!

A lot of congressmen/senators use piston GA or piston aircraft as a mode of transportation, so maybe that will help GA - which is already in poor shape!
