Default Boyer retires - Catastrophic mission failure

In article

says...


Yup, as usual the absurd press releases are worthy of an old Pravda
reporter:

"When Boyer took the controls in 1991 (only the third president in
AOPA’s 69-year history), the GA industry was in crisis, beaten down by
product liability lawsuits. "

I guess everything is great now, unlike in 1991, thanks to the
political power and astute leadership of Boyer the Destroyer. He
turned it around, and increased the pilot ranks with his ideas to hold
open houses at GA airports and for people to cut and paste his
ridiculous talking points into letters to the editors.



Well - what has changed since that time?
Oh yeah, they're making airplanes again - that's cool.
Not saying that Boyer did GARA, but without some hard-headed political
types GA consumers are just caviar for lawyers and insurance types. I
think he did a pretty good job, and I hope his successor is his equal. .
..

Haven't seen you in a while, Skylune.
This is the same Skylune, presumably, who told us three years ago that a
major GA crash killing several "innocents" on the ground was "imminent"
and that this was a "statistical certainty". Just plugging that in in
case there are readers here unfamiliar with the reliability of your
assertions. . .
