    Subject: Re: discrimination
    Folks, Bob is spot on about the history, the then President of American Airlines lost a court battle with his pilots, so turned to his old buddy, (General) "Pete" Quesada, first FAA Administrator. And the "age 60" rule was born!! Surprise, Surprise, on retirement from the FAA, Pete wound up on the AA Board. We have never had a hard retiring age for any category of license down here in Australia, although until recently, over 60 was pretty much limited to Australian national airspace. A dear friend of mine, now 76, is still flying as a Check Airman on C-47/DC-3, one aircraft he is currently flying, he first flew in Papua Nui Guinea in 1945, in his first civil job after de-mob from the RAAF. He was a top notch "stick and rudder" man when I first made his acquaintance about 40 years ago, and he still is!! He can still make a T-6 stand up and whistle Dixie.

    Subject: Good chuckle...
    Read in Avweb this morning... Returning to Republic Airport in Farmingdale, New York on New Year's Day, I heard the following exchange on the air between the tower controller and the pilot of a Piper Arrow: Arrow: "Republic tower, Arrow One Two Three Four Five, eight miles north, inbound with India." Tower: "Arrow Three Four Five, report right downwind runway 32." Arrow: "Any chance we can get a straight in?" Tower: "You said you were north, didn't you?" Arrow: "Yes, seven miles north." Tower: "Arrow Three Four Five, the only way I can give you a straight in for Runway 32 is if you turn north and continue for about 24,000 miles." [pause] Arrow: "Uh, okay. Sorry. Happy New Year ... ." Daniel A. Torres Baldwin, New York

    Subject: Maine Tax
    Maine Tax Explained - By Maine Aircraft owners can still explore the wonders of Maine without being taxed on their airplane but they do have to follow the rules, according to a senior Maine tax official. David Bauer, of Maine's Bureau of Revenue Services, told AVweb his department and other government offices have received "huge volumes of e-mail and phone calls" since AVweb carried the story about Massachusetts resident Steve Kahn's battle with Maine over its "User Tax." Bauer said the story left the incorrect impression that any visit by an out-of-state aircraft would trigger the tax. "The bottom line is that you should plan carefully if you intend to fly into Maine, and spend more than 20 days in Maine, within one year after the initial purchase of your aircraft and you have not paid a sales or use tax on the aircraft in another state," Bauer said. There's nothing new about Maine's use tax and it also applies to other items of "tangible personal property" like boats (with a 30-day grace period) and, in certain circumstances, cars. Aircraft are perhaps easier to track than other items because most flights leave an FAA paper trail. However, the tax does not apply to any item purchased more than a year before its entry to Maine. There's also an exemption for aircraft undergoing "necessary" repairs or maintenance (paint and interior work don't count, for the most part). But Bauer said the vast majority of aircraft owners need not fear the tax. "In most situations, nonresidents flying into Maine do not owe the tax and are not at risk of being assessed," he said. "There are circumstances where a tax will be due, but that is the exception, not the rule." Bauer has promised to enlighten us on Maine's justification for the tax next week. Click here for the details of Maine's use tax. This is in the latest article of AVwebFlash on the Maine taxes, think it helps some! Don

    Hehehehe... Hopefully to the other side we will not be bothered too soon with an "e-test" of our Commanders, BUT I must admit that 500-A's would look pretty sexxy with that cat bolted onto the exhaust stacks... Might get rid of that pesky cowl flap setting... David Owens Aerial Viewpoint N14AV AC-500A-Colemill

    Subject: Re: Fwd: [NBAA-avmgr] Request help finding an aerial photography
    company in the Tampa, FL area Photo Science has a Georgia office and I know keep a couple of aircraft there. I met one of the guys out of a St. Pete office at an industry convention. They do aerial mapping. Aerial Cartographics is on the east coast, if I remember right. I'll get some names and numbers in a jiffy..... Course neither one uses Commanders. I think Air Photographics is still using them out of West Virginny. Dave Owen might have some more info.
