Aviation And Politics, Part One... With AOPA President Phil
Boyer
Unless you've been
living under the proverbial rock for the past six months, you're
probably aware next Tuesday is Election Day. There are a number of
high-profile, hotly contested races throughout the country that
likely hinge on how the voters feel about such volatile issues as
the war in Iraq.
But as pilots, we must also keep in mind how our votes may
influence how we wind up paying for ATC services, as well... and
that's a message Phil Boyer, president of the 408,000-member-strong
Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, wants everyone to
consider.
This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing --
available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format, or an expanded
Aero-Briefing -- where you'll hear these stories:
Another lawsuit is filed in the Comair crash...
A Beechcraft twin is down in Florida...
And the FAA's Age-60 rule gets another look
...And More

Our DAILY programs consist of (at least) three separate
products.
- ANN's Daily 'Touch & Go' Aero-Cast: A
quick look at the most recent news of the day... short, succinct
and to the point. The usual 'Touch & Go' takes but a few
minutes and is a summary, only, of the day's events... and it only
takes a few minutes of your time.
- ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily ANN
Report (ANNRep for short), is a more comprehensive look at the
day's news. We give you the whole buzz... the news and features
that occupy the forefront of aviation news as well as solid
background on the subjects that aviators and other aviation
professionals need to stay informed on.
- ANN's Daily 'ASR' Feature Aero-Cast: Our daily
'Aero-News Special Report' involves a more in-depth view of a story
or two that dominated (or will be dominating) the day's news. Far
more detailed than any single story in our standard ANN Daily
Reports, this is a solid chance to get a close look at the stories
and topics that matter. ASR features may include exclusive
interviews with Aviation's Newsmakers, ANN's Special Investigative
reports and solid analysis of the stories that will have undeniable
impact on the world of aviation and aerospace.
Check them out, let us know what you think and be sure to keep
those news-tips and program suggestions coming... ANN is ALL about
what YOU want to know about in the world of aviation and
aerospace.
