The Cessna Owners Organization is the same. Nice glossy magazine that
also gets mailed to another group of Piper owners. Different pics and
one or two Cessna stories vs Piper stories.

I find competition a good thing but I don't see any upside here in two

Does anyone out there have any insight on why someone thought we needed
another Cessna association?
Interestingly, the same group has apparently started a new Piper Flyers
Association. I haven't checked out their websites, but supposedly the two
are identical except that one has pictures of Pipers, and the other has
pictures of Cessnas.
It would be hard to imagine this group beating or improving upon the
Cherokee Pilots Association. They have a very useful (if amateurish)
monthly magazine, a great book ("Cherokee Hints and Tips 2000"), and an
annual fly-in that is the best of the summer.
I've heard good things about the Cessna Pilots Association, too, so I
imagine these new guys will have their work cut out for them.
