No Surprise....
There is no surprise that AOPA crumbled... due to the fact that Spike 007 was not a member! He would have sorted the whole sordid business out! He'd get all of his crony mates in and with a few shifty moves transform it into the Aviation Mafia... Even the donkeys at CASA in Adelaide would have had sore asses - but they already ARE asses! Oops, a bit of a freudian slip there!!!
