Never. Too many soft headed libs and dems around (and Republican’s too! Look at Bloomberg and Huckabee and Rudy).
I did exactly the same thing. I was a Virginia resident and didn't want to pay state taxes so when I reported to flight school in P'cola I changed my residency to Florida, which at the time cost me $350 in taxes on my car. I left Florida after about a year and never went back, but maintained my residency until I got off active duty.
The best fringe benefit from that was casting an absentee ballot in 2000 for George Bush.
Legally correct, but their stance was that changing residency was not an option while actively serving. Technically, he would have also been eligible for Cal-Vet housing & college programs, too...but wasn't, according to that state office. Coming & going; it's the California Way.
No, he didn't have to pay, but it didn't stop them from making the attempt. Still had to pay for a lawyer, though.

The 60's were very good to you.
A 5% tax bill that totals $26,000 means the plane cost $52,000. Please show me the average bass boat that costs more than half a million.
Make that $520,000
You could say that again.............
I am referring to the retail price. The cost of owning a plane is mostly hanger rental, maintainence and other fees and taxes. I would wager that most privately owned planes are propeller driven. I am not referring to jets and commercial airliners. My point is that it isn’t necessarily rich people who own these planes, and a $26,000 tax bill hurts.
