Opinions! We love them... especially when they come from folks with something interesting to say! Aero-TV engaged in one of its favorite exercises during the 2009 AOPA 'Summit' -- that of surveying a dozen or more people at an event with three questions targeted toward the interest group that we're shooting...
So, we came up with three good questions for the thousands of folks who populated this year's convention... starting with a popular topic at the onset, namely, "How Do You Like The New (AOPA) Prez?" The second question in this series deals with how the GA community is dealing with a tough economy while the third, and the topic of today's program, addresses the plight GA faces as the object of negative and misleading media reports viewers in the general press.
7,294 people attended the Summit in person at the Tampa Convention Center Nov. 5-7. Attendees checked out the latest in general aviation technology, and attended informational and educational forums, while hundreds of members of the Tampa community came out to Peter O. Knight Airport for the community day activities at Airportfest. More than 1,000 aircraft flew into Peter O. Knight, Tampa Executive, and Tampa International Airports during Summit. The airport grounds were packed for Community Day on Saturday, with hundreds of people from the area watching the steady stream of aircraft taking off, perusing 104 aircraft on display, and participating in activities designed for the whole family.

A First Year Update With AOPA's President, Part 2
Its been a trial by fire for First Year AOPA Boss, Craig Fuller... not only did he follow a leader (the irrepressible Phil Boyer) who was much beloved by the membership, but he stepped into the mess that 2009 made of the aviation business (much less the rest of the world). We've been getting mixed signals about how folks are judging his first year and are not quite sure if the pro-Phil folks are still missing the long-time leader or folks genuinely have some grief with the new leadership. Questions put to attendees AT the 2009 AOPA event were met with a somewhat more pro-Fuller response, but we decided that checking with the guy at the center of the storm was the most appropriate way to gauge where he was as his first year at the helm of AOPA was coming to a close.
ANN broke the news of Boyer's retirement and Fuller's selection several days before any other news organization and before the official AOPA announcements, in the summer of 2008. Fuller left his native California in 1981 to be Assistant to the President for Cabinet Affairs in the Reagan White House. In 1985, he became chief of staff for Vice President George H.W. Bush, traveling with the vice president to every state and 60 nations overseas.
Later, after working with international public affairs organizations in Washington and Philip Morris Companies Inc. in New York, he became president and CEO of the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) linking retailers, manufacturers and suppliers in that industry. He will be leaving his current post as executive vice-president at global public affairs and strategic communications company APCO Worldwide in Washington to become AOPA president.
Fuller learned to fly at Buchanan Field in Concord, CA while still in high school and flew with the UCLA flying club at Van Nuys while earning a B.A. in political science. He has a Master's degree in urban studies from Occidental College in Los Angeles, where business travel in his early public affairs career fostered purchase of a Cessna 172RG Cutlass based at Santa Monica. He was (then) logging some 200+ hours a year in his Beech Bonanza A36. He was a director of the US Chamber of Commerce, active in The Aspen Institute and a former trustee of The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the George (H.W.) Bush Presidential Library Foundation.
