It would be a genuine bonanza for Florida Revenuers to hang out at Sun N Fun and take TN's to enrich their coffers. I believe that the situation is a bit more complicated than the Aero-News article was able to portray, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were indeed the way the scam operates. Sounds like a wonderful, complicated, costly and time-consuming trip for one of the "culprits" to take it on up to the Supreme Court. :-))

I read an article today on Aero-News that said if you buy an airplane and
fly it intoFlorida any time within the first 6 months of ownership the state
can hit you with a "use tax" even if you don't live in Florida, don't own
property in Florida, don't do business in Florida, and didn't buy the
airplane in Florida. Two recent cases cited were the owner of a new Cirrus
who received a $30,000 (yes, $30K) assessment and a Meridian owner who got a
bill for over $100,000.
Anybody out there have any first-hand knowledge or experience with this?
