Nearly all the points I would have raised in response to Cusco's rushed posting have come from others - thank you, chaps.
I must ask why people keep on popping up on various internet forums to bash AOPA as first rather than last resort, giving people like Martin absolutely no chance of taking action before being condemned.
One other little thing; I do enjoy the positive comment so many people have made about AOPA's General Aviation magazine, but please give credit to the publisher, himself a helicopter instructor and an excellent writer - because the publication simply wouldn't exist in its current form if he'd not taken over (and renamed it) in 2002.
At the risk of sounding like a Golden Globe winner, David Tarbutt does a nice job with the look and we're lucky to have contributors like Mike Jerram and others keeping us awash with quality copy.
Of course, if you'd prefer a freebie watch to AOPA's constant lobbying on behalf of pilots and legal back-up...
