Dropped Calls, Long Hold Times, Poor Info... The List Goes
On
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association has taken the recent
increase in flight service station problems straight to a
government watchdog. AOPA President Phil Boyer and Executive Vice
President for Government Affairs Andy Cebula spent nearly two hours
on June 6 detailing pilots' woes before Department of

South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer, who survived a
dicey takeoff accident last year, is suing three companies that
worked on his Mooney M20E's engine before the accident.
