AOPA's Boyer Flies Left Seat With South Dakota Senator
The leader of the Democratic Party in the US Senate, Tom Daschle
(D-SD), joined AOPA President Phil Boyer in the cockpit this week.
During a three-hour flight, the two discussed a wide range of
issues important to general aviation pilots, such as privatization
of the air traffic control system, post-9/11 security restrictions
like the Baltimore-Washington Air Defense Identification Zone
(ADIZ) and the "rolling" TFRs (temporary flight restrictions) that
cover Presidential campaign swings, and GA's own efforts to make
local airports more secure.
