View Full Version : Anybody seen the 2005-2006 AOPA airport directory yet?

OK, back at the end of last year, I renewed my AOPA membership, and as a
part of the deal they were to send out the new airport directories, when
they were ready, as well as a cap and other tidbits (that little yellow
scale thing, stickers and what-not). The hat and the other stuff I don't
really need, but that directory is very useful. And if you have looked at a
Sporty's catalog to see what they are charging (criminal) I might as well
just buy A/FD's every two months.

AOPA sent out e-mails, and made it an article in their online newsletters,
back in early February that they were 'ready and being mailed!' .

Not that AOPA doesn't offer a lot to it's members, but if you are gonna
offer it, give it. OK, where the heck is it?

Are you telling me that you use the AOPA airport directory as a substitute
for the A/FD? That's probably not a good idea.

>offer it, give it. OK, where the heck is it?

I've had mine for a couple of weeks now.

I'm just waiting for the day that someone decides that "ignorant moron" is
an ethnic group, and thus cannot be discriminated against.

As someone else mentioned, the AOPA directory is not a substitute for
the AF/D, any more than AirNav or the myriad of other directories.

Got mine from AOPA some time back. Maybe you should call them and ask :-)

Yes, as a matter of fact I received mine a month ago, too.
Nice back-up, and very bulky. The extra weight keeps my flight bag in place
during turbulence. LOL

One I got the airport directory on a CD. I didn't like it and asked them
for a paper copy. I've gotten those since. Have you thrown away what
you thought was another AOL CD in the mail recently?

(got a biiiig drawer full of old mail...)

I've had mine over a month ago, and they still have my "home" airport in
its "old" cofiguration, even though its been changed for nearly a year now.
