Meigs is history, and AOPA doesn't want to do anything that would remind us

created not so much as a stir in Chicago. No organization (or person, for
that matter) likes to be reminded of their impotency.

I, too, plan on asking them about this at OSH, but not because I expect an
answer.

Your soapbox is sagging.

AOPA lobbies the powers that be and rallies its members around a cause.
AOPA has no actual power to do anything. So to say that AOPA utterly
failed to prevent the closure of Meigs Field is to ascribe to the
organization powers that it does not have. You can't blame AOPA for
failing to do what it ultimately cannot do.
