'IS AOPA Losing It?' ANN Readers Seem To Think So...

Recent Responses To ANN Editorial Comments Suggest AOPA Is 'Off-Mission'

A recent ANN editorial offering suggested that the once-mighty AOPA was out of step with the wants and needs of its current membership... and displayed a particular disconnect via the constant bombardment of those persons via commercial pitches and other money grabs. Intended to be be what humorous as well as a complaint about the fund-raising tactics of this organization, the story really set off a number of ANN readers -- who responded -- and responded -- many hundreds in total (and starting to look like the ultimate total may push 2000... with only O

Aero-TV: Better Weather: Jepp's FliteStar Enhances WX Reporting

Get Your Weather While You Plan Your Flight... Via FliteStar

While ANN was running around/amok at Oshkosh (much like a certain poultry product sans any evidence of cranial capacity), we were hard-pressed to keep up with all the goodies that were presented... but the crowds surrounding the Jepp building convinced us that it was worth spending a few hours there... and we were NOT disappointed.

Aero-TV: Phil Boyer At Oshkosh 2010 -- Enjoying A Much-Deserved Retirement

So... How Is Retirement Treating Former AOPA Boss, Phil Boyer???

Phil Boyer's retirement announcement was NOT the best news we've ever had to report... but there was no arguing with the fact that Phil deserved a break (and our thanks) after working the front lines of the GA fight for the better part of two decades. To those of us who watched aviation work its way through several decades of various trials and tribulations, Phil Boyer proved himself to be the real deal... a solid leader with some serious smarts and a true passion for the world of aviation.

Aero-News: Quote Of The Day (09.27.10)

"I have removed my auto membership renewal, and will let me membership run out; at which point, I will no longer renew my membership with them. Thank you for bringing to light the unacceptable behavior of AOPA. They should be removed from representing GA's best interests." Source: ANN Reader William W's response to our recent editorial on some of the most recent escapades at AOPA. This is one of many hundreds of emails and other responses we received... with ONE received in support of AOPA's fund-raising efforts (and a pretty rude one, at that). More to come on this and other related topics...
