PHIL
BOYER, FORMER PRESIDENT OF AOPA
Ten years ago this weekend,
general aviation was faced with an unprecedented challenge -- first, how
to get back in the air at all and then, how to cope with scores of new
regulations as the government struggled to minimize the threat of future
attacks. As president of AOPA, Phil Boyer was on the front lines
of holding back the restrictions and preserving our freedom to fly. He
talks with AVweb's Mary Grady about the events of September 11,
2011 and his assessment of how we're doing 10 years later.
