ANN's CEO and Editor-in-Chief Jim Campbell was granted one of the first in-depth interviews with Mr. Baker who has been on the job for less than a month. In preparation for this opportunity we asked you - our readers and listeners, what questions you would ask if you were one-on-one with the new AOPA Top Gun.
Your replies numbered in the many hundreds -- completing a document of nearly 30,000 words. In the conversation that occured, the questions asked are YOURS - the answers are Mr. Baker's. Here now is Part 1 of our ANN Special Report... As Congress dithers about the federal budget, and in anticipation of cuts to the FAA, stakeholders are again starting to talk about removing the U.S. Air Traffic Control system from government control, and moving it to private or semi-private management. With its claim of being the only operational vehicle capable of taking significant amounts of cargo both to and from the International Space Station, SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft is already a critical piece of the American space program.
