Like i've stated before, if the AOPA does not have the lobbying horsepower to get this bill even attached to the FAA funding bill coming up in September, let alone as a stand alone bill, they do not DESERVE to have me as a member. That being said, I am still giving them more than 18 months to...

Great minds must think alike because I said the exact thing in this thread, although I'm going to give them a chance until the end of 2016: http://forums.aopa.org/showthread.php?t=94506

:yikes::yikes::yikes: trying to stir the pot, aren't you!! You knew I meant HER, not me!!

Ahhhhhhh...........I remember my post-solo days as a student pilot (summer of 2008)! It brings back such fun memories with the sudden newfound freedom I had, even though of course I was still under the watchful eye of my CFI! To relive the same level of excitement now, I'd need to be lucky...

Bummer:( I was really pulling for you! Hopefully soon!

IMO you won't go wrong on any of the islands other than Nassau or Freeport, but my choices for most pilots would be the Exuma Chain if you love boating. Otherwise Eleuthera or Long Island are great. Me personally, I just loveeee the FAR out islands (Mayaguana, Crooked, Great Inagua) where...

No thank you! Not for all the tea in China!!

NO, I don't think so! People said the exact same thing when the Germanwings crash took place, yet the bill has picked up 21 more co-sponsors since then.

As it should be!! That would be like your new date (potential future husband or wife) talking with your ex to see why you broke up with him/her. Talk about a lot of room for error and misinformation, or worse yet, slander.

RELAX GUYS….. With the slowwwwwwwww pace that we are all too familiar with in terms of proposed legislation becoming law, do you REALLY think that the chances of this being passed and signed into law are that high?? Don't something like 90% of all bills die in committee, plus a lot of the...

Me too! That's a fair trade

Yea, I know what you are saying, but the attorneys that ambulance chase on personal injury suits are a small percentage of all attorneys. Even among my attorney friends (one who practices copyright law), the ones who do this are really looked upon as parariahs, since they give the legit...

What makes you think they are more powerful than the GA lobby? They also have roughly the same numbers as we do (455,000 if I recall). Either way, each are only about 0.2% of the US population. Don't forget that 20 years ago we successfully go the GA revitilazation act passed, much to...

Absolutely!! I've never understood why an aircraft owner should have to pay for AD's where as the manufacturer has to pay for the same when its an automobile.

You DO realize how rare it is for a GA crash to kill or injure someone on the ground, right? Might as well be statistical noise. OK.........maybe I can understand some companies reluctance to allow this flight with pax, especially other employees, but solo?? He is infinity more likely to...

Hmmmmmm PBOR3 anyone?

Thank God I always carry a few cameras with me when I fly. if that were me I'd have sent a video to my congressman the next day with a time stamp, and not long after the whole world would know these thugs on YouTube! Luckily all but one (out of 7) of my CBP encounters via GA have been very...

^THIS^ Right on the money IMHO

I thought enforcement actions dropped from your record after 5 years. Do they not?

Correct. http://www.nbaa.org/ops/intl/car/200802-mexican-customs-req.php Mexican Customs Requirement for GA Operators Effective February 1, 2008, all GA aircraft operating into Mexico from the Caribbean, Central America, and South America will have to stop in Cozumel (MMCZ) or Tapachula...
