Maybe they do realize they are out of touch and this is their attempt. I think the bottom line is everyone is somewhat frustrated for the general state of GA in the US! Is it better as Martin pointed out than most countries, sure. But it’s also not what it can be and maybe people wished AOPA...

This for me is my only real problem with AOPA, the cost isn't even remotely a factor for anyone that flies an aircraft, we glorify the $100 for crying out loud which is probably more like the $200 hamburger today. They are and continue to be too political and cater to a sub-set of GA. I just...

I don't think we were allowed to use chromosomes to represent people anymore :)

I get 10% from my EAA too.

Love the humor hear, but you really think them owning an extra 300 is providing anything of value to the membership other than a few executives getting to take a joy ride on your $89. It's honestly a mixed bad with AOPA, they bring value but they do so often in a way that makes most GA pilots...

The 916 is coming out soon, the difference is more take-off horses 160HP is my understanding.

and this is why i hate news coverage of anything aviation. The condition of the crew on board is unknown at this time. The crash happened on lap 3 of 6 during the Jet – Gold Race. A spokeswoman for the air races said it was a single plane crash and all operations have been suspended for the...

Was this rudder failure or a G-lock? seems he could have rolled and pitched tragic

Make sure you let others know ***holes like this won't last long if people know. Opportunistic!

I thought my wife finding out how much I spend was the biggest danger! Joking aside, it's really tragic and lately something that has me on edge in non-towered fields. I heard a story today of a tow-plane pulling a glider at Cumberland Maryland and released near the airport never once...

I'll share with you incase hot sauce is involved, at least we have screens for ventilation.

I would like your wife to become friends with my wife, can we set that up?

85 Young Eagles flights today for EAA 36 and a successful wings and wheels.

Yeah, we gotta do better at using those forums.

He's not in this week. And if you file IFR, you can fly through the outer ring. In fact, if you are VFR and file a VFR flight plan and get flight following you can go through R-4009 when expanded as long as you are squawking and talking. If not, it's pretty easy to navigate around it. You...

A good day for airplanes and cars. EAA 36, will also be flying Young Eagles that day. https://wingsandwheelsexpo.com/

Fair, I'm 1.5 hrs N of DC and pay $268

This is a bad thing? Mine is $268/month w electric and it's in blue territory

There is a good shop in Lancaster, PA AOPA has taken several of the sweepstakes planes to them.

As long as my wife never reads this: My hull value was at 180k and I'm in a light sport but for comparison 1st year (low time pilot insurance $5200 (dropped after Yr1 to $3200) Hanger 3600/yr Fuel for the 75 hrs I flew the first yr estimated roughly $2000-2500 gotta love Rotax for this single...
