Pledges "Full Support" To Craig Fuller
NATCA President Patrick Forrey praised
retiring Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association President
Phil Boyer (right) this week, and expressed confidence
in the choice of Craig L. Fuller to succeed him.
"Phil's leadership of AOPA has resulted in tremendous growth of
the organization and significant advancement for the safety of
general aviation," Forrey said. "Owners and pilots world-wide could
not have asked for a better advocate concerning all important
issues in the world of aviation. Phil's guiding philosophy has been
the same as NATCA's: Safety Above All!
"While we knew this day was coming, it will be a bit strange to
soon see the roster of aviation community leaders missing
Phil’s name," he continued. "He’s led AOPA nearly as
long as NATCA has been in existence. We’ve grown our
respective organizations together and come to greatly value that
critical relationship we have on both ends of the radio microphone.
We’ve stood together at fly-ins, aviation shows and
conventions and so many great meetings and conferences where we
interacted and learned from one another’s experiences and
wisdom.
"We salute Phil on an extraordinary career and wish him smooth
skies and safe flights into his retirement."
Forrey also congratulated Fuller, noting he will become only the
fourth AOPA president in 70 years.
"He brings a wealth of great leadership and aviation experience
to this important position," he said of Fuller. "We pledge our full
support to Craig as we continue our outreach to the general
aviation community nationwide."
