Default 12 dead this weekend from GA crashes

The 3 in Wisconsin were freight pilots flying Shorts. Mid air between 2 of
the same companies aircraft. Three dead in one aircraft, the other aircraft

6 in South Carolina, 3 in Wisconsin, 3 in Florida (another Cirrus).

A current AOPA focus is to make sure flying remains affordable for owners
of "tired iron."

They awarded a 1974 plane to a lucky winner in Colorado.

On this web page a writer laments that GA planes don't have locking gas

And the beat goes on..... Who needs The Sopranos for drama when we have
"General Aviation, Entertaining America?"
