General Aviation pilots already pay for fees. Landing fees in certain airports and taxes on our fuel. The price for avgas (aviation gasoline) at my local airport is about $5.00 per galon. Most single engine planes burn about 10 gallons an hour, do the math. My airplane has two engines and burns about 14 gallons each side (so 28 gallons an hour total) with a tank large enough to hold about 170gallons. Thats $870 just to fill the tanks for more or less 5 hours of flight time.
