Well that ought to send Skylune into orbit.

Neat -- the AOPA web site indicates that a) Phil Boyer has been at the
helm for 15 years as of two days ago, and b) new fix names in his honor
for the June publication of updated terminal procedure charts.

RNAV (GPS) RWY 5 approach for FDK will have new names for fixes: PHILB,
DEFND, and GEEAY. Nice touch.

Nah. When the user fees are enacted, and the ADIZ is made permanent, it
will remind everyone of what a fine job this guy did.

But I like the AOPA tribute to Boyer! Kind of like sending yourself a
birthday card filled with praise.

I am happy with AOPA for now admitting that closing private airports
increases the property's value. A quote from their newest (dumb) "white
paper": "Its all about money. The property is more valuable with uses
other than an airport."
