Thank goodness that I worked out (many years ago) that my membership of AOPA was a total waste of money.
Gerry111 - Many years ago I agreed with you. It was the efforts of Ben Morgan to rattle the cage, and his effectiveness in doing so, that made me renew my membership 3 years ago and this year to join the board.
I would urge you to step back and take a dispassionate look at the effort expended and the results so far, and perhaps re-consider.
General Aviation needs to present a strong and united front ans as a CASA inspector said to me the other day... an object will remain in motion until it is deflected by an opposing force. GA does not have the mass of Government, but we might be able to achieve the acceleration with your support and that of others.
Cheers
