Very nice presentation. Good voice control and volume. UL will be sold when the demand is there, and the price is right. We do not need more regulations..The love and convenience of flying boats will never end. All you need is money.

“Extremely expedited timeline” for banning 100LL? C’mon. The industry has had decades to get the lead out. There are tested and approved alternatives. The delays are nothing more than profiteering. The issue is a black eye for GA, and AOPA is perpetuating the issue. A ridiculous example of bureaucracy gone wild. As a 40+ year GA pilot, and long time AOPA member, I am embarrassed to be a part of it.

Good luck trying to talk some sense into those California politicians your going to need it.

California, enact a complete immediate statewide ban on 100LL, that seems to be the only way AOPA will wake up and do the right thing. There is UL fuel available now and it could be online in a few days they just don't want to. So force their hand. There is no need to wait until 2026, it can be done in a matter of days. They have wasted 40 years, they will waste whatever more time you give them, that much is clear.
