L'industrie aéronautique est interconnectée à l'échelle mondiale. Erigée des barrières douanières est une arme économique à double tranchant.

Ok I am going through and updating (to AC 61-65 J) my stickers for #CFI sing-offs and endorsements and noticed the #FAA has changed the He/She to They. It reads so much better.

Yes I make my own because I hate the ASA ones and the #AOPA ones are missing stuff. Not sure if they have been updated yet also truthfully.

@m you just described my grievance with every advocacy organization I'm a member of. (Side-eye at #AOPA)

An Information for all foreign FAA License holders, like myself. According to the recent newsletter from AOPA Germany, all FAA license holder are required to present the FAA a US postal address. Effective July 7th 2025. If you fail to provide the address, all privileges on the license will be suspended.
AOPA Germany is working on a „affordable“ solution. Whatever that means.

So today I just learned that #aopa uses Frederick Tower comms for "hold music". Very cool.

If you are an #AOPA member there are some good #OSH24 deals but one you can get now online is from Pilot Workshop.

The #AOPA General Aviation flyover in DC was pretty nice. Although the Beechcraft Starship was a no-show, I think I got a photo of all the aircraft that participated https://www.flickr.com/photos/ep_jhu/albums/72177720316868702/

Really enjoyed watching #AOPA DC Flyover today! https://www.aopa.org/community/2024/dc-flyover

#AOPA has a detailed article on the financial issues at Van’s #Aircraft:

“Van’s needs 70 percent of the roughly 4,800 customers with unfilled orders to accept higher prices to make reorganization feasible. The #Oregon firm has a few weeks left to convert enough contracts to higher prices paid to be able to reorganize—or face potential liquidation if no viable reorganization plan is approved by the court and no buyer emerges to take over in such a case."

So, I got this in the mail the other day. I didn't even know it was my 25th year. Also, I'm old!

A lapel pin with a black background and outline emblem of "wings" with "AOPA" above the wings and the words, "Aircraft Owner's & Pilot's Association" around the outside. If you really squint hard, you can see the words, "Your freedom to fly" inside the circle below the wings. At the bottom of the pin is a white banner that reads, "25 years".

As GA and #Bizav #pilots prep to head to Vega$ fot the #F1 race, #AOPA is working to fight price gouging by the FBOs:

"AOPA FIGHTS PRICE GOUGING AT LAS VEGAS VALLEY AIRPORTS - EGREGIOUS FEES AT AIRPORTS A TROUBLING AND GROWING TREND”

From the article:

“...Atlantic Aviation at Harry Reid said the special event fee for the F1 race weekend is $3,500. Signature’s one-time fee [at Harry Reid] is nearly double at $7,700.”

Damn.
One of the best of the best died in a plane crash yesterday. Former Air Force Thunderbirds Commander w/ 100+ flights in the lead plane. Probably the most well respected face in Aviation Safety. Likely saved countless lives in his work with #AOPA Air Safety Institue.
#RIP Richard McSpadden.

Random takeoffs and landings at this weekend's Old-Fashioned Fly-In in Concrete, Washington (USA). A photo🧵. #eaa #aopa #AvGeek

Made the short hop tonight from Reagan National (KDCA) over to Frederick Municipal Airport (KFDK) to put Maryland in the logbook of my #XPlane #Flightsim USA Air Tour.

On departure from KDCA, Tower let me buzz the U.S. Capitol. Dudes on roof with giant rifles were not amused.

Parked in front of the #AOPA offices at KFDK, going in tomorrow to ask them why I haven't yet won one of their sweepstakes airplanes. It’s really not right.

#avgeeks #aviation #airplanes #pilotlife #flying #Cessna

I’m confused. The certificate that comes with the #AOPA #basicmed course says you must keep it with your logbook and produce it when requested. Don’t you need to have your medical with you when you fly?
