Dumb, off topic and political

Who are "us"? Are business aircraft not GA? How much avgas is sold to
non-GA aircraft?



No, guys flying Cessna jets and turbine powered airplanes are not us. AOPA
believes that keeping these two groups together, light airplanes and heavy
business operators is the way to keep GA togther. But 172s and CJs don't share
ANY concerns with each other. I have argued about this with the bisjet types,
they want BIGGER BETTER control towers, and more involvement for the FAA
in the traffic system, not less. We, the 172 to Bonanza drivers do NOT share
interest with the bizjet crowd.

You are correct. AOPA = light aircraft G/A

NBAA = turbine business operations

NBAA understands the distinction far better than does the FAA. The FAA actually
does understand it but it (the FAA senior management) is totally dominated by the
air carriers who strongly resist any distinction between a Cessna 182 and a Cessna
Citation X.
