The Third Of Our "Three-Question" Event Surveys From The 2008 AOPA Fly-In OK... here's the home stretch in our surveys from the 2008 AOPA Fly-In -- one of the best in recent memory. ANN's ever-mobile Aero-TV crews had a BALL at the recently concluded 2008 AOPA Fly-In.... especially since the torrential rains of years past failed to make an appearance and we managed to stay dry for a while. We mingled with hundreds of AOPA members, gauging their concerns and reactions to a number of questions and topics we raised... giving rise to the obvious third question in our infamous "Three-Question" survey of AOPA members... namely, 'what's the coolest thing you've see while you were here?' Check out the third of our three survey questions posed at the 2008 AOPA Fly-In to see what was particularly interesting at this year's event. Each year, as a "thank you" to its 415,000++ members, AOPA hosts an Annual Fly-In and Open House. As in past years, some 100 aviation exhibitors were available for viewing, as well as over 40 display aircraft. Seminars on aviation safety were offered, including presentations by Ron Machado and AOPA President Phil Boyer. Tours of the AOPA headquarters and non-stop opportunities to meet staff members were also offered throughout the day. Aero-TV was on site to enjoy the warm comradery of this event (in more ways than one... in the 100+ degree heat!), and in addition to a number of neat features (including the intriguing interview with Phil Boyer just a few weeks back), we also used the opportunity to conduct one of our favorite feature programs -- "Three Question" Special Event Surveys -- covering the topics of AOPA member satisfaction with the organization, the effect of rising fuel prices on personal flying activity, and what was catching everyone's attention at this year's event. So... Aero-TV Asks AOPA Members: What Was The 'Coolest' Thing Seen At The 2008 AOPA Fly-In? (Part 3) Copyright 2008, Aero-News Network, Inc., ALL Rights Reserved. FMI: www.aopa.org
