I’ll be voting myself this year, not clicking on the proxy, as I have done for the nearly 38 years I’ve been a member. If you too are a member of #AOPA I recommend you express your opinion.

DCA has been an accident waiting to happen for a long time. In fact, an accident similar to the one in which a PSA CRJ700 collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter that took 67 lives last January 29 happened there on Nov 1, 1949 between a DC-4 & a P-38.
