Building AOPA's future is an ongoing conversation, and the next chapter is here.

AOPA has published proposed bylaw revisions that members will vote on at a special meeting September 19 at the National Aviation Community Center, Frederick Municipal Airport, Maryland. The meeting begins at 11:30 a.m., with lunch to follow.

If approved, these updates would empower members to nominate trustees, set new qualifications for trustee service, introduce term limits, and open the door to online voting in future elections — the most meaningful governance change since AOPA's founding.

Attend in person or appoint a proxy if you can't be there. Review the proposed changes and get all the details: aopa.org/about/governance/special-meeting

Once the airplane of Hollywood icons like Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack, the Learjet 23 defined private flight for decades.

Today, thanks to Jim Donovan’s restoration, this is the only flying Learjet 23 of its kind in the world.

With modern upgrades like a Garmin 530, TAWS, and ADS-B paired with much of its original 1960s avionics, this aircraft is a remarkable blend of aviation history and contemporary capability.

As Donovan puts it, flying it is “like being on a pat of butter on a hot skillet.”

Watch for a closer look at this beautifully restored classic.

Ending this month with memories from an incredible week at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026! From packed seminars and unforgettable airshows to conversations at the AOPA booth, we loved every opportunity to connect with our members and the aviation community.

Thank you for making this year's AirVenture so memorable.

A first-time buyer's journey doesn't have to be intimidating. Retired Navy submarine commander Neil Colston went from student pilot to owning his ideal aircraft, a 1977 Grumman Tiger, with AOPA Finance guiding him through every step: insurance, lender, evaluation, pre-buy inspection, and the purchase agreement. https://bit.ly/4fHYoXI

Seven unforgettable days. One incredible celebration of the freedom of flight.

2026 AirVenture delivered. From airshows and conversations with fellow enthusiasts to educational seminars and one unforgettable AOPA Sweepstakes giveaway moment, AirVenture reminded us why it is aviation’s homecoming year after year.

Until next year, thanks for the memories.

Have you seen the AOPA Sweepstakes Piper Archer’s transformation at AirVenture?

We have a front-row seat to Noah Heckel's transformative vision. Taking inspiration from AirVenture visitors’ requests, the Scheme Designers artist is turning the Piper Archer into a one-of-a-kind work of aviation art.

Stop by the AOPA Pavilion to help Noah decide what to draw next.
