AOPA information garners positive editorial in 'Denver Post'

AOPA's work with the media has resulted in a positive editorial in the Denver Post. Headlined "A tragedy, not a trend," the editorial calls on the community to remain calm and not jump to conclusions about the midair collision over a northwest Denver suburb Friday. Using AOPA-provided statistics, the editorial points out the paucity of accidents in the area and notes, "general aviation remains one of the safest modes of travel." The editorial concludes, "What's important now is getting all the facts and calming the public's fears: The sky is not falling."
