It is a pitty that Fly with AOPA is shrinking further down.
It has been a regular source of information for pilots and members.
Alyssa, I wish you the best in your new chapter of life. Family is important, enjoy it and cherish it.

$420k for an experimental. Wow. Think I’ll stick with my Thorp.

We are doing the same thing on the EAST COAST here in Virginia. We'd love AOPA check us out too!

Flying people as a "side hustle" doesn't fill me with confidence

[DanFrederiksen]

420k for the sparker... what even is that

First, AOPA cancelled all the regional Flyins, now you are taking away the Saturday weekly wrap up with Alyssa, what is next on the chopping block ? Best wishes to Alyssa though, I will miss you
