Bottom line, like 'em or not, if it were not for the AOPA, private aviation would be in the same boat as Great Britian and the European countries. I don't see anyone one or any organization currently on the scene that can do the work that AOPA is doing right now.

Absolutely true! We may get pissed at the AOPA, but they have done a world of good for GA. And that's why I have been a member for more 40 years, but I don't have to like everything that they do.
