				True, but it still begs the question, what "cuts" did Obama make to his 
 budget?  Or did he even consider cutting his spending?
 
 I have heard there was an internal white house memo that stated if the 
 sequester came to pass, all cuts were to be the most visible and have 
 the greatest impact on the general public.

				The proverbial "buck" used to stop on the President's desk, but
 now-a-days the buck stops where-ever it can be used for the best
 political gain.  
 
 The subject being "ATC Fees at Air Shows", I feel it is safe to say that
 charges to General Aviation for Air Traffic Control have been a theme
 and desire of the present Administration for quite some time, and were
 "by and large" endorsed in an interview with President Obama last year. 
 
 So "Sequester" or not, this kind of "fund raising" clearly smacks of
 something influenced by no less than the President and his view of how
 to raise funds.   I sincerely doubt that the FAA, on their own, went out
 and put this kind of practice into effect, especially across such a
 broad stage.  
 
 Since all of our aircraft are "Experimental Exhibition" this topic
 probably falls into the realm of being a legitimate topic.  
 
 At the prices we are talking about, it would seem that a reasonable
 alternative might be to have such large organizations as the EAA go out
 and contract their own Air Traffic Control services through a 3rd party
 provider just as the FAA does now.   I'm sure no vehicle currently
 presently exists for that, but if such charges for local services
 continue, it might eventually become a topic.

 When Obama, pulls his head from his ####.
 Or when he finally starts doing the right thing!
 Or possibly when he is impeached for violating federal law!
 The list goes on and on and on. . . .

				EAA Oshkosh is a privately owned business is my understanding. EAA is owned by the poberezny family IIRC. The government is not in the business of providing free support to a privately owned, for profit event. It can be argued that because of sales taxes generated by fuel sales, etc that ATC support should be provided. This doesn't work in the real world. Go to any Car or Gun show, for example, and you will find that even though there is local law enforcement there they are being paid by the event to be there to work.  
 I am no Obama fan but the constant hysterical blaming of Obama only weakens arguments as well as making it that much harder to take the Republicans seriously. Who elected Obama? The Republicans did IMHO by not having stellar candidates  to run against him. Mccain=Nut Job, Romney= Obviously a part of big business / financial interests at a time when distrust of the financial industry is at an all time low. 
 If the Repubs don't want Hillary elected they had better get on the ball finding a good candidate. Right now all I hear is crickets on that subject...

				It's debatable whether this is a valid YAK-List topic but we've strayed
 over that boundary many times.  
 
 I am not sure whether the EAA is a "privately owned business" per se.
 That's a legal topic I would rather not broach, but let's for a moment
 assume you are correct, because in my opinion it really doesn't matter
 anyway.   
 
 KOSH is a public use airport with a Control Tower. It is owned by the
 COUNTY and not the "EAA".   That control tower is authorized and managed
 by the FAA.  
 
 This FAA managed Control Tower is required to provide AIR TRAFFIC
 CONTROL to all aircraft taking off from, and arriving to that specific
 airport. This is not an OPTIONAL FUNCTION, as in "Car or Gun Show
 Security", so that comparison does not "fly"!  In any case, that Control
 Tower is RESPONSIBLE FOR FLIGHT SAFETY UNDER FEDERAL LAW.   
 
 Every single towered airport keeps a count of every take-off and landing
 performed.  Those numbers are used to determine manning levels at the
 tower.  If you have a lot of activity at the airport, be it General
 Aviation, Military, or Commercial, the FAA will increase or decrease
 manning levels accordingly.  
 
 There are many cases where airport activity increases dramatically for a
 number of reasons.  When that happens, and that activity is known in
 advance, the FAA increases manning levels accordingly, regardless of the
 reason.  This happens all the time, all over the country, EVERY SINGLE
 DAY. 
 
 As I said, the FAA provides Air Traffic Control in order to provide
 mandated FLIGHT SAFETY to folks in the air, and the general public on
 the ground as mandated by FEDERAL LAW.  They are funded by the Federal
 Government through a number of means in order to meet this REQUIREMENT.
 That funding does not include charging the Aviation Public directly for
 their services, which is why the EAA is taking the FAA to court.  
 
 Keep in mind that these kinds of charges have never been made before, to
 the EAA or anyone else.  It is a direct attempt at "Usage Charges",
 which President Obama during a direct interview said that he and his
 administration supported.  If you consider that fact to be: "constant
 hysterical blaming of Obama", then so be it.  
 
 The FAA has never done this before, the FAA is under control of the
 present administration, the present administration has promoted "Usage
 Charges" to General Aviation.  Now normally I would think 2+2=4
 However, you are implying that 2+2= "constant hysterical blaming of
 Obama"  
 
 Really?  Good luck with that.  
 
 The subject is ATC Fees at Air Shows.  It really should be: "Usage
 Charges of any type to General Aviation".  Oshkosh was just the opening
 shot.  More is sure to follow.  I can't imagine why any General Aviation
 pilot or aircraft owner would think that this kind of thing makes sense
 and would support it in any way, shape, or form, PARTICULARLY when the
 EAA was involved, which is an organization that does nothing but support
 the folks on the Yak-List.

				As usual, Mark has a great grip on some solid facts here. No organization will ever be perfect in everyone's eyes - EAA included. But they do strive to be the best and make their membership happy / proud of what they / we do. As far as I know - EAA is not a "business." It was founded by Paul Poberezny as a club on the basis that aviation ROCKS and should be within reach of the "common man" w/ a vision and drive - not just surgeons, CEO's and assorted "big-leaguer's." Additionally, if you read the yearly financial report, they deal routinely in 7 and 8 figures regarding cost and OUTput. I went to my 28th consecutive OSH / AirVenture this year and found it to be healthy and refreshing - despite a still-struggling national economy and complete lack of current military hardware. Occasionally, during my 10-day stay, I strayed off-field for a change of pace for a bite. When locals engaged me in conversation regarding the event, I was stunned how much erroneous / negative hype was out there. I heard things like EAA got too "greedy" and now that the FAA has stepped in, EAA is "penalizing" it's members w/ excessive ticket prices, parking prices and off-the-scale food prices. INCORRECT. I was routinely excited to correct that misinformation when the opportunity arose. The ticket prices have not escalated past the usual minimal yearly increase - nor did parking. Our membership dues have not risen more than $10 in 20 years. And food this year - besides being the most diverse ever offered on the field - was priced just as if you went to those venues OFF field...Subway, Machine Shed, A & W, Etc. When is the last time you got a cheeseburger for $3 (at) EAA? Conversely, businesses NEAR EAA look forward to those 10 days as a time to gouge. The Hilton getting $400 / night? Heck, I stay at the dorms which were $15 / night "back in the day" and just went to $70 / night this year. Every time I've written EAA I've received a personal reply. I wrote Paul back in the 90's to say "thanks for all you've done" and he invited me to work w/ him on his PT-23 restoration. I worked side-by-side w/ one of the most sincere & dedicated aviators ever. 
   
 I don't know. I'm a fan I guess. Every time I chat w/ someone who traveled hundreds or thousands of miles - or even around the world to partake in AirVenture, I almost feel guilty it's only 90 miles away by car and 35 minutes by air. But maybe instead of guilty...I should just feel "blessed."
   
 EAA isn't perfect. Neither is America. But MY "perfection" will never be YOUR perfection and vice versa. Hopefully, we can all live relatively happily w/ the way things are - and if / when we see them endangered, be proactive instead of simply passively disgusted. There will ALWAYS be room for improvement. But before we start pointing fingers though, let's look a little deeper for the facts.

				Here I tend to agree with Mark, BUT, several problems are  apparent,  "Sequestration" and the ever creeping expansion of  government.  This expansion of government, occurs at the local level,  when local politicians (mayors or city commissioners) to justify their  existence by pushing for control towers, though their federal congressmen, to  get the FAA to put in a control tower, even if the amount of traffic didn't  justify a control tower.  The federal subsidies are to tempting for local  politicos to pass up.  With in 30 miles of my field are 5 control  towers that can not be justified by the amount of traffic.  3 of them are  there because of the influence of Emory Riddle at DAB.  That's a political  considering, not a operational one on any account.  Right now because of  the sequestration the FAA plans on shutting down 14 control towers in FL, the  most of any state, and in my opinion, a good idea.
   
  A pilot dependent on ground control, is a poor pilot in my book.   It leads a pilot to not learn SA or develop pilot decision making  skills.  BTW one of the airports schedule to be closed is OSH.   However that was not due for several months, so Mark's point is still  valid.  Now on those X-country, when you stop to refuel, how many airports  do you find that are NOT operated by a private FBO?  I fly a B-24 around  the country.  I often (to often in my opinion) the FBO is part of the local  government structure (i.e. a political controlled money making  business).  I once was at an airport that had a control tower, 10 T  hangars, country run FBO (4 employees), and one 5,000' runway.  In the  3 days we were there, I saw ONE - repeat ONE - C-150 doing touch and go's One  day!  Nothing else.  In the old days in the private sector, this is  called 'feather bedding'.  The only thing that stops feather bedding in  government is your vote.  And yes we can blame this of BO.

  It's debatable whether this is a valid YAK-List topic but we've strayed
 over that boundary many times.  
  I am not sure whether the EAA is a "privately owned business" per se.
 That's a legal topic I would rather not broach, but let's for a moment
 assume you are correct, because in my opinion it really doesn't matter
 anyway.   
  KOSH is a public use airport with a Control Tower. It is owned by the
 COUNTY and not the "EAA".   That control tower is authorized and managed
 by the FAA.  
  This FAA managed Control Tower is required to provide AIR TRAFFIC
 CONTROL to all aircraft taking off from, and arriving to that specific
 airport. This is not an OPTIONAL FUNCTION, as in "Car or Gun Show
 Security", so that comparison does not "fly"!  In any case, that Control
 Tower is RESPONSIBLE FOR FLIGHT SAFETY UNDER FEDERAL LAW.   
  Every single towered airport keeps a count of every take-off and landing
 performed.  Those numbers are used to determine manning levels at the
 tower.  If you have a lot of activity at the airport, be it General
 Aviation, Military, or Commercial, the FAA will increase or decrease
 manning levels accordingly.  
  There are many cases where airport activity increases dramatically for a
 number of reasons.  When that happens, and that activity is known in
 advance, the FAA increases manning levels accordingly, regardless of the
 reason.  This happens all the time, all over the country, EVERY SINGLE
 DAY. 
  As I said, the FAA provides Air Traffic Control in order to provide
 mandated FLIGHT SAFETY to folks in the air, and the general public on
 the ground as mandated by FEDERAL LAW.  They are funded by the Federal
 Government through a number of means in order to meet this REQUIREMENT.
 That funding does not include charging the Aviation Public directly for
 their services, which is why the EAA is taking the FAA to court.  
  Keep in mind that these kinds of charges have never been made before, to
 the EAA or anyone else.  It is a direct attempt at "Usage Charges",
 which President Obama during a direct interview said that he and his
 administration supported.  If you consider that fact to be: "constant
 hysterical blaming of Obama", then so be it.  
  The FAA has never done this before, the FAA is under control of the
 present administration, the present administration has promoted "Usage
 Charges" to General Aviation.  Now normally I would think 2+2=4
 However, you are implying that 2+2= "constant hysterical blaming of
 Obama"  
  Really?  Good luck with that.  
  The subject is ATC Fees at Air Shows.  It really should be: "Usage
 Charges of any type to General Aviation".  Oshkosh was just the opening
 shot.  More is sure to follow.  I can't imagine why any General Aviation
 pilot or aircraft owner would think that this kind of thing makes sense
 and would support it in any way, shape, or form, PARTICULARLY when the
 EAA was involved, which is an organization that does nothing but support
 the folks on the Yak-List.
