Even more important than that, the Legislative Affairs department needs
to adopt NRA's message machine.

Every time there is some legislation up with potential impact on their
members, the NRA sends phone messages, emails, etc. Even if only a
percentage of members take action, the results are quite effective.

Unforatunately, I don't meet many aircraft owners and pilots with the
same degree of passion about protecting their freedoms, and would be
willing to make calls and send notes to their congressional reps.

And AOPA does not do a very good job explaining to a Rec Pilot in Idaho
why what happens in the DC ADIZ may someday effect him/her...


Different psychology between owning guns that aeroplanes. Gun nuts are
paranoid anyway, that why they have guns whereas pilots have to be a bit
more balanced.

Fortunately, most pilots are much better informed that you.
