'The Hardest Working Guy In GA Talks About Life At The Helm Of AOPA' As part of our end-of-year wrap-up, ANN posited that if AOPA, as the world's largest pilot's association, is the 600 pound gorilla of aero-organizations; then there should be little question that AOPA President, Phil Boyer, ranks as 'King Kong.'

For those of us who wearied of all the "Bravo-Sierra" that came our way from the airline side of the equation, it is a breath of fresh air to see a reasoned approach to the User Fee dilemma. Watching the AOPA crew, especially Phil Boyer, shoot down all the nonsense about various user fee arguments is a bit of art... simple, verifiable, straight-to-the-point, honest. And he uses facts and verifiable details, even!! Who'da thunk it? Boyer's "Reasonable Analysis" of the matter at the 2007 AOPA ...

AOPA's VP Of Public Relations 'Hails' (Pun Intended) From NOAA Phil Boyer has served admirably as the figurehead and decision maker for one of aviation's most productive and progressive organizations... but one man (even the leader) does not an organization make. Late last year, Greg Romano recently joined AOPA as its Vice President, Public Relations, bringing more than 20 years of public relations experience -- most recently at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA ...
