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.
