Aviation And Politics, Part Two... With AOPA President Phil Boyer

Unless you've been living under the proverbial rock for the past six months, you're probably aware next Tuesday is Election Day. There are a number of high-profile, hotly contested races throughout the country that likely hinge on how the voters feel about such volatile issues as the war in Iraq.

But as pilots, we must also keep in mind how our votes may influence how we wind up paying for ATC services, as well... and that's a message Phil Boyer, president of the 408,000-member-strong Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, wants everyone to consider.

Today, we wrap up ANN's chat with Phil... and hear more of what he has to say about Tuesday's election.

• ANN's Daily 'Touch & Go' Aero-Cast: A quick look at the most recent news of the day... short, succinct and to the point. The usual 'Touch & Go' takes but a few minutes and is a summary, only, of the day's events... and it only takes a few minutes of your time.
• ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily ANN Report (ANNRep for short), is a more comprehensive look at the day's news. We give you the whole buzz... the news and features that occupy the forefront of aviation news as well as solid background on the subjects that aviators and other aviation professionals need to stay informed on.
• ANN's Daily 'ASR' Feature Aero-Cast: Our daily 'Aero-News Special Report' involves a more in-depth view of a story or two that dominated (or will be dominating) the day's news. Far more detailed than any single story in our standard ANN Daily Reports, this is a solid chance to get a close look at the stories and topics that matter. ASR features may include exclusive interviews with Aviation's Newsmakers, ANN's Special Investigative reports and solid analysis of the stories that will have undeniable impact on the world of aviation and aerospace.
