Chris Dancy, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association
It seems that the airlines are trying to frame the user fee argument as corporate business jets vs. airline travelers. Those of us that fly know that many more than bizjets will be effected by user fees. In some parts of the world, each touch and go off a public runway costs money. Chris Dancy from the AOPA updates us on the user fee battle. Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (6/5/07)

Upcoming Ultralight & Light Sport Aviation Events
|
|
If you have an upcoming ultralight related event that you would like to get on the schedule, E-mail me with the event name, location, date, and contact information by clicking here. Meanwhile, check out the following events:
Paramotor City's 8th Annual PPG Safari & Fly-In
June 8-9, 2007, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Better, warmer, dryer! Paramotor City's annual fly-in has changed its name, date and format. Over the years, the safari has become more popular than the Hot Air Balloons of October and, after getting rained on and even snowed on, we've picked June. Our high elevation means it's not typically too hot be we have much warmer camping temperatures, longer drier days, and easier transportation options since we're not doing it doing the big Balloon Fiesta. Learn more at American Flyer PPG. Contact information@americanflyerppg.com.
