Argh! We STILL haven't received our copy, even though AOPA says they were

I only got mine yesterday. Haven't seen the article yet, but I read the notice of
your success at getting the council to drop their idea about eliminating the airport
commission. Apparently you've also managed to replace the previous AOPA volunteer.
Congrats!

If a man gets into a fight 3,000 miles away from home, he *had* to have
been looking for it.

Thanks, George.

Yep, I'm the new AOPA rep (a group of local pilots finally convinced the
former volunteer -- an airline pilot who hadn't set foot in Iowa City much
for years -- to step down), and we were able to get the city council off of
our backs for another year.

It's funny -- even though we've won every battle for our airport thus far, I
still get the feeling that the anti-airport knives are being sharpened...

That's OK, Jay, even paranoids have real enemies.
