Frank my point was AOPA was respected before the involvement of the said individual, it effectively started its decline due to the campaign run at the time.
Lawrie,
Why so coy about names?
AOPA was "respected" before Dick and Boyd breathed some new life into a moribund operation???
AOPA was "respected" then, as it is now, by the bureaucracy, because it then and now, represents no threat to the quiet life for our army of bureaucrats.
Tootle pip!!
