Illinois Pilot Registration

[Metro752]

I don't understand the legalities of this, but I do not see how you can be taxed for holding a federal license. I just asked 7 people here at the airport, DO YOU HAVE ONE, two people had them. (i AM IN illinois)

Looks like we'z all gonnza gets aristed! Oh wellz! I've never gotten this letter in the mail anywazzz, HMMM!

I hopez they don't comes lookin -4-, I guess I'll have to go LAND in Cheeseland or Hoosierville.

I guess they have to pay for the bulldozers to tear up Meigs Field somehow.

Why am I not surprised the mailing address is on Langhorne Bond Drive in Springfield? That guy was an absolute Doofus as an FAA Administrator.

I understand its for the money...but do they claim to have a reason? Ie: The state wants to know who all licensed pilots are within the state.

It's a fine example of states sticking their panhandling frelling hands into the pockets of people for no fracking good reason other than they write the laws and can do it.

Bunch of worthless political fertalizer brained puttyazzed pissant nitwits. And AOPA wants me to send them money when they cant stop this kind of political hooliganism...

May pidgeons forever favor their cars with their droppings!

I have lived in Illinois my whole flying life and I refuse to give the state money for my federal license.

Washington State does the same thing and I believe it's $10 as well.

Not anymore.

Now I'm curious: Since people--myself included--have strong feelings about this, and compliance is understandably less than total, has anyone ever been ramp checked and asked to produce the registration card?

 

[Foxcow]

It is not in the regs so I just ignore it. I encourage my friends not to do it either. It is a waste of ten bucks. They even send you one of those out of date state sectionals (2001).

Yeah, and how about Illinois Aviation? I'd hate to miss out on seeing what the reliever airport of the year is.
