Do you think flying evades the carbon tax?

Yes, if you apply the carbon tax only for the fuel at petrol stations. I am talking about realistic-to-implement solutions.

Aviation fuel is dispensed at a limited number of places; it would be easier (or just as easy) to implement a higher aviation fuel tax than a higher auto fuel tax.

It's trivial to implement auto fuel tax - it's already in place in most of developed countries.
