Aero-News Quote of the Day
"Under current Florida law, operators of aircraft landing in the state that were purchased within the six months prior to their visit can be forced to pay up to a 6% tax on the aircraft's sales price. This tax policy forces aircraft operators out of Florida and drives aviation related services such as maintenance, repair, and overhaul to other states."
