AOPA AGM

[TechMan]

I went across for the AOPA AGM and their annual flyin on the weekend. Met some new faces and talked aircraft (like one does).

 

It was a stark contrast to Natfly, as there were maybe 30 aircraft max

 

on the field, though they did manage around 90 members for the dinner

 

bash, so I have heard.

 

Trade exhibitors were also present with Tecnam showing off their brand

 

new RA-Aus LSA registered P2004 Bravo, Silverwing and their shiny

 

Sportstar, and off course the Lanciar Columbia. Avionics by Wade Mahlo.

 

Other displays by CASA, AOPA and AMF. That was it. The weather was

 

fantastic to boot.

 

Not much happening at the AGM, though there was a lot of discussion on

 

GA self regulation. A hot topic which is still being discussed at all

 

levels with no real indication of an outcome as yet.
