Any dealer in new or used aircraft, or both, who holds such aircraft for resale and operates them primarily for purposes incident to a resale, or owner or lessee of specialized-use aircraft, may apply to the division for a dealer's or a specialized-use license. Upon such application, the division shall issue an aircraft dealer's or a specialized-use license to the applicant for an annual fee of fifty dollars ($50.00). The dealer's or the specialized-use license shall be in lieu of all other licenses and personal property taxes upon such aircraft owned or held for resale by the dealer or specialized-use operator within this state so long as they are kept for specialized use or for resale. This does not prohibit the registering of all such aircraft as otherwise provided in the Aircraft Registration Act.
