If the local AOPA guy is not doing it for you, why not go over his head? I
gotta believe that SOMEONE at the AOPA would be eager to react to the
possibility of an Airport closure (even in Iowa)...

Good luck...

I know what you'll say: Call AOPA. Hell, they're no help -- our local
"representative" is a commercial pilot -- who, in 7 years, I've never
even MET -- who only wants that title on his resume. I'm at the
airport every god danged day of my life, and I couldn't pick this guy
out of a line-up... Helluva job he's doing.

We are soooo screwed.

The former president of our airport commission, recognizing the impotence of
our current AOPA representative, tried exactly this tactic. He called AOPA,
explained the situation, and volunteered his services.

Apparently if an AOPA rep doesn't want to resign, they can't be bumped.

Write Boyer personally. Show up at the next "town meeting" and bitch to him in
person. Get everyone who feels as you do to do the same.
