    Florida has a cut-out for raffles for 501(c)3 entities. I had to do a fair bit of reading of the Florida statues when I crafted the rules for this thing.

    Nicest FBO you've been to

    A pilot area that includes a gym, mini cubicles, and a billiard lounge comes close. On top of that, they are always willing to pump 20 gal of 100LL with the same energy and efficiency as 1000 gal of Jet A. In a place dominated by jet traffic, I always feel taken care of at KTEB Merridian...

    Nicest FBO you've been to

    I'm surprised nobody has said Meridian at KTEB yet. Nice place and the staff does well amid all the chaos.

    Owner/Operator

    Military Pilots flying GA

(Note: there's no legal definition of "military aircraft"... only "civil" and "public"). There have been times that aeroclub aircraft likely could...

    Military Pilots flying GA

    There's more to it than that. There can be aircraft that the DoD has leased that meet the definition of public if they're used for development or training. There can be aircraft that are owned by certain agencies that get chopped over for a military mission. I have worked quite a few issues on...

    Military Pilots flying GA

    Yes if in performance of a military mission. Here' it's a "public aircraft," and not a "civil aircraft." Let's say some firm wants to put a new widget on a King Air and test it under contract with the DoD. The test aircraft has an N-number and the government has not accepted ownership. The...
