In a stunning change of events that has floored virtually every
general aviation pilot alive, and has all the other ones flipping
over in their graves, Phil Boyer, the wildly popular President of
the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), has announced
his resignation from the organization.
The reason? He has accepted an offer to join Chicago Mayor Richard
Daley's re-election campaign. As campaign manager, no less.
Boyer will helm the Daley Re-Election Korps (D.A.R.K.), and
revealed his intentions in a surprise news conference this morning
at his Fredericksburg office.
