Don't call me a liar or an electioneer.
He said it to me, personally. I was amazed that he made a point of taking me to one side and telling me, as if he wanted me to leak it (and leak it I did to AOPA, LAA and others.)
He knew that I was involved in the politics of aviation, which had extended to my taking him and his family flying in my Aztec. That flight is recorded in his
register of interests (search in page for "31 January 2004" or "Timothy Nathan").
Make of
his comments what you will, but
I am telling the absolute truth.
Please do not question my integrity.
