AOPA lobbies the powers that be and rallies its members around a cause.
AOPA has no actual power to do anything. So to say that AOPA utterly
failed to prevent the closure of Meigs Field is to ascribe to the
organization powers that it does not have. You can't blame AOPA for
failing to do what it ultimately cannot do.


You're right, sadly.

The real failure is our own.

As I currently see it, there probably won't be x-thousands of pilots (20,000
seems like a good number) descending on Chicago to voice their opinion on 18
and/or 19 August, I was feeling the exact same sentiment.
