outboards. i can't ever imagine, under any circumstances asking the fbo to
perform his profession for me without pay. this is what he does to keep the
lights on at home, i just do it for fun.

Good point Bob. Some small shops at local airports really offer good service at
reasonable prices. Boy do the prices go up at regional airports though. The shop rate
posted at one big one on BFI is $175/hr. The shop is jammed full of multi-$million
aircraft waiting on service too. $125 to refill O2 tanks?

In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from
one party of the citizens to give to the other.
