Opinions! We love them... especially when they come from folks
with something interesting to say! Aero-TV engaged in one of its
favorite exercises during the 2009 AOPA 'Summit' -- that of
surveying a dozen or more people at an event with three questions
targeted toward the interest group that we're shooting...
So, we came up with three good questions for the thousands of
folks who populated this year's convention... starting with a
popular topic at the onset, namely, "How Do You Like The New (AOPA)
Prez?" The second question in this series, and the topic of today's
program, deals with how the GA community is dealing with a tough
economy while the third addresses the plight GA faces as the object
of negative and misleading media reports viewers in the general
press.
7,294 people attended the Summit in person at the Tampa
Convention Center Nov. 5-7. Attendees checked out the latest in
general aviation technology, and attended informational and
educational forums, while hundreds of members of the Tampa
community came out to Peter O. Knight Airport for the community day
activities at Airportfest.
More than 1,000 aircraft flew into Peter O. Knight, Tampa
Executive, and Tampa International Airports during Summit.
The airport grounds were packed for Community Day on Saturday,
with hundreds of people from the area watching the steady stream of
aircraft taking off, perusing 104 aircraft on display, and
participating in activities designed for the whole family.
