Congress is looking over proposed FAA reauthorization legislation. And right now, it’s the most general aviation friendly reauthorization AOPA has seen.
AOPA Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Jim Coon highlights the most important pieces of the legislation.
We also need your help to support the General Aviation Airport Access Act and get it included in the FAA reauthorization bill. Let your senator know to support the act and that it is important for pilots to be able to park their aircraft at public-use airports for fair and reasonable rates without being required to pay for FBO services they never asked for or used.

See what it’s like to get checked out in the Beechcraft Staggerwing. AOPA Editor at Large Dave Hirschman introduces AOPA Air Safety Institute Senior Vice President Richard McSpadden to the aircraft. Richard was the lead for the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration team—but even with all that experience, he’s enamored with the classic taildragger. Wait for his “wow” moment when it sinks in that he’s flying a Staggerwing!

AOPA in-house Pilot Protection Services attorney Ryan King has a criminal law background and analyzes Trevor Jacob's case and plea agreement.
Trevor is a former Olympic snowboarder and YouTube sensation who recorded himself bailing out of his Taylorcraft and hiking to the wreckage in November 2021, claiming he had experienced an engine failure. He's been under federal investigation since, and the FAA revoked his pilot certificate in April 2022.
A plea agreement was announced May 11 between Trevor and prosecutors. He admitted to intentionally crashing his Taylorcraft for fame and money, then having a helicopter airlift the aircraft to a trailer for him drive to a hangar at the Lompoc Airport in California where he cut apart and destroyed the aircraft, discarding it in different trash receptacles at the airport and other locations to impede the federal investigation.

A very heartfelt story about Thomas “Tom” McKinny following in his father’s footsteps to fly the exact airplane he flew in 1942 while training for World War II. With the help of Barnstorm America’s Cliff McSpadden, Tom flew the Waco UPF-7 using the training manual that would have been used in 1942 to re-create what it was like to fly during his father’s time.
