Craig Fuller, the new president of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, has assumed his new role.
His presidency became effective New Year’s day. Fuller replaces Phil Boyer, who retired Dec. 31.
The year will be marked with challenges and opportunities, Fuller said. Work has already begun with the Obama administration. The AOPA has met with the transition team. The top challenges are aviation safety, modernizing the nation’s air traffic control system, long-term financing of aviation infrastructure, aviation security and responding to environmental issues, Fuller said in a statement.

2 more innocent people just died in Joliet, Illinois. Quiet Rockland is heartsick and prays for the families of the victims. Some Americans once trusted failed FAA Acting Administrator “Bobby” Sturgell to act like he was a regulator and prevent Americans from aviation harm. Then, after many months of FAA intimidation seeking to silence those desirous of telling the truth, the ram broke the dam. Whistle-blower courage and Congressional and FBI probe forced “Bobby” Sturgell and his FAA to admit that their malfeasance allowed hundreds of thousands and perhaps even millions of passengers to fly in cracked defective Southwest and other aircraft. Bobby Sturgell’s defense was denial – he continued to self-tout that he led the “Safest Period In Aviation History”. Yet approximately 3,500 souls and climbing have died on “Bobby” Sturgell’s own FAA “watch”. Hold “Bobby” Sturgell accountable BEFORE he slithers out of office.

What ARE you trying to say, jtormey3? What does an FAA acting administrator have to do with a new leader at AOPA?
I fail to see how the FAA administrator (regardless of who the person may be) has any connection to the mentioned aircraft accident.
