AOPA melodrama

The president, though long retired from the TV biz, has not lost his flair
for drama:

After flying back from Hawaii for a meeting he attended "on his own time"
(I assume this aside is supposed to make people not question how their dues
are being spent...), Phil arrived in DC to "implore" decision makers not to
make the ADIZ permanent.

And then, the melodrama, a Personal Moment, not previously revealed
publicly: Phil's wife was mistakenly (according to the story) flagged for
violating the ADIZ. Upon landing, she was instructed by someone at the FBO
to call the FAA. According to Phil, she "went thru hell for 15 minutes"
and they were "very rude" despite the fact that Phil was "standing by her
side."

Hillarious! (You can see the full video on the website.) But it gets
better: His wife was apparently so traumatized by this experience that
she won't fly much anymore as a result: apparently she has flown only 10
hours since then. (Not exactly the image of the cool-as-a-cucumber, self
assured, highly trained, GA pilot that comes across in all the promotional
materials.)

Next episode: "The Decision"

To be followed by: "The Reaction" (should be either glee and self
congratulations, or, outrage)
