Summary: Reacting to President Barak Obama's disparaging remarks about general aviation and his proposal of a user fee for civil aviation that could amount to $100 per flight, 77 mayors from across the United States have written a letter to the White House, hoping to educate a president they perceive as anti-aviation. "We just need the president to stop the rhetoric and stop saying the negative things," says Wichita Mayor Carl Brewer, who signed the letter and is actively recruiting other mayors to do the same.
