If it was on aviation you'd be #6

Josh Thanks for your vote of confidence. So Utopia is now at 3 members, Josh don't forget to send in the $39;), the war chest is growing :rofl: (Tim, we just grew 50% overnight)

Thanks John You're #5;) Agreed on your post. I will say that you'd be surprised, as I was, how very few voters ever get involved, I've been in meetings where a State Rep. says 'I've received 234 letters from my region and this shows major support for this bill". 400,000 letters in favor and...

Jesse Thanks for what you do,(that's 4 now) I've seen you in action up at 6Y9 ,followed your dedication with a story with young Mr. White,motorcycle and aircraft long distance x-country. Also your dedication to this board and the POA. My purpose for poking this fire of a topic is to get us all...

Tim ,Just did some quick calculating for the new B&T AOPA. If we charge $39 to the what 400,000 pilots in the US that's $15.9 million we can work out of the old school I already have in Sidnaw(6Y9), turf runway won't need jet. After our salaries that's what 13 mil to stuff in our pockets and...

No doubt Aviation has morphed into a monster. In our early concerns for safety we in haste did not put any safeguards into the system to protect us from over regulation. There is no longer an accident, it must be someone else's fault, hence we have the present FAA, Trial Lawyers and Insurance...

Forgot one other response, what I'm trying to say here is OK take AOPA out and all us pilots keep our $59, so what then,who's gonna take over, and if it's that bad why hasn't a competitor popped up. EAA has tried but membership wanted them to focus more on their roots, Experimental , and leave...

How'd you know where I was on Oct.31st, I must have an ADS-B in/out up my ---uhhh pant leg and you have a NextGen Rx.;) On user fees the Feds want them, when have you ever seen them turn down income, who besides AOPA and maybe secondary EAA have fought this? I'm sure they are the one's...

Well Thank You Tim that's three of us now. Change seems to be happening there and it takes time to unravel what may have been done in the past, as bad as it may seem to be" I'm not gonna throw out the baby with the bathwater" I really don't like giving tens of thousands a year to the IRS, but...

Tom As I sent to Katie Thank You for what you do, I am Thankful for AOPA. Can it be more fiscally responsible,probably, can it be more efficient ,yeah. I really can't imagine the pain of having to work daily with Washington and the whining GA pilots of the most expensive hobby on earth ;)...

Katie, I'd like to thank you for posting on this somewhat hostile board. I know that AOPA does more for us than we know,is probably a thankless job from some pilots. I for one thank you for what has been done for us and will thank you in advance for the changes recently in AOPA and it's...

I not sure but maybe Aopa's fight to stop GA $100 per flight user fees come to mind. How many flights per year talking with ATC, heck even at 1 flight per month that's let's see $1200 - $59= $1141 per year they saved you. This may not be accurate math for you but for me even one flight's...

So in a couple of hours we've seen two responses to my asking" what have you done to promote GA? I think( at least in my opinion) that many if not most of you have done zero. So no matter what you think of AOPA and how much they have done or not done for you it is definitely more than you've...

I agree that tech can be used greatly to advance a cause, but I can tell you from working with State Gov.(Fed Gov. prolly the same) as much as we all hate the way Gov. and it's people work ,you need to meet face to face, rub elbows with the people we've all elected. It's way to easy to hit the...

Yeah but then the peanut gallery will complain about N4GA flying back to DC too much;)

Not sure what you mean by that?? Public or Private ? Our public use grass airstrip is inspected by the State in which the State follows FAA requirements for them. The FAA does recognize turf or grass airstrips and has airspace requirements for them as they do paved. There are differences in...

Yeah got a little carried away, I thought maybe he would have spoken with a local pilot or two that used the runway and asked for info. One of the other posters got it right ,just because the length will shortened by 10% means the value is just 10% less. There will be a better understanding...

On reconstruction you would have to speak with local excavation and landscaping companies for estimates. Going from 3,000 ft to 2,700 ft.? Depends on conditions . 2,700 ft is great for many planes but 3,000 ft is better. I know there are some on this board that will tell you if you can't T.O...

I know some guys that came back early and some that didn't even go. I hear Ill. is where there are some really big bucks are. Lotta people dissa pointed with Mi. hunting are going elsewhere.
