AOPA President Boyer continues call to action on opening nation's airspace to 
VFR flight
Joins other GA leaders in highlighting business and job losses

10/9/01 2:50:23 PM, ET — AOPA President Phil Boyer joined other general 
aviation leaders today in calling for opening all of the National Airspace 
System to all general aviation operations.

"General aviation businesses have lost hundreds of million of dollars and 
thousands of Americans have been laid off as a result of flight restrictions 
placed on general aviation," Boyer said. "AOPA has offered countless 
solutions that would enable the government to lift the restrictions to visual 
flight that exist around major city centers. It's time to get on with it 
before further jobs and businesses are lost. Our main focus is restoring VFR 
flight in Class B airspace. We want to get back in the air."
