Plenty of guys at my CO own crash pads in places they are based but actually live in FL. This isn't an abnormal lifestyle for people like us.
I doubt to many pilots for HA live in FL. If you actually live in a tax free state it's not a loophole. It is the law, if you reside there and don't do 51% of your work in any single state you pay state taxes based on where you reside. If on the other hand you claim to reside in a tax free state but actually reside in another state your not exploiting a loophole you are committing tax fraud.
