In 1977, when the Lindbergh Foundation was formed, Neil Armstrong and General James H. Doolittle cochaired the fundraising committee. As part of that effort, the National Air and Space Museum gave the Foundation a set of numbered, signed prints of each man, made from pencil drawings by the well-known artist Paul Calle. The prints of Neil Armstrong were signed by both Armstrong and Calle; likewise, the prints of Jimmy Doolittle were signed by both Doolittle and Calle. Most of these prints were sold at that time, but the SUGGeSTeD DONATIONS FOR eAcH OF THe PRINTS: “Lindbergh Arrives Over Paris” - $15,000 “General James H. “Astronaut Neil Doolittle” - $2,500 Armstrong” - $10,000 Foundation retained a small collection.

It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day, or even moment-to-moment, issues that dominate our waking lives. But there’s something to be said for taking the long view, too. Every day, the staff of AOPA is doing literally hundreds of different things. Our advocacy team can be working dozens of issues at a time, attending meetings with the FAA and other agencies, talking to members of Congress on Capitol Hill, and spending time in state legislative offices. Our Pilot Information Center team is answering member questions about everything from choosing a flight school to buying an airplane. Members of our publications team are working on two magazines, multiple electronic newsletters, and numerous websites. And at any given moment, people in every AOPA department are looking for ways to serve you better whether that means developing new tools like the FlyQ app, producing new interactive courses from the Air Safety Institute, or help- Taking the long view ing you find the right kind of insurance for the way you fly. In short, our offices are always a hive of activity. It can be a little overwhelming. If you stop anyone in the hallway and ask what they’re working on, you’ll get a thoughtful, and probably highly technical, answer—and each person’s answer will be different. But stop those same people and ask them why they’re working on that project or issue and you’ll get the same answer every time. They do what they do to protect our freedom to fly. Your passion is their passion too. That’s the long view and it underlies the work done by every member of the AOPA staff each and every day. We protect the freedom to fly not only by advocating for GA interests with government decision makers. We do it by helping our members stay informed, fly more often, resolve medical issues, choose the perfect airplane, get the right legal coverage, and find the right flight instructor. There are thousands of ways we work for our members and for the GA community as a whole. Anything we can do to help strengthen general aviation is a step in the right direction and ultimately contributes to keeping all of us in the air. We’ve got our work cut out for us. We can expect a renewed push for user fees as the economy continues to struggle. We are still headed for a fiscal cliff that could spell big cuts for the FAA and NextGen. And we’ve got a long way to go to reverse the steady decline in the pilot population, to name just a few of the challenges ahead. But, with your help, we’re ready to tackle those issues and any others that come our way. We never forget that everything we do is possible because of members like you. Thank you for being part of AOPA and for doing your part to protect our freedom to fly.
