RE: FAA Docket No. FAA-2003-16531; Airspace Docket No. 96-ASO-10

To Whom It May Concern:

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), representing over 400,000 general aviation pilots, submits the following comments in reference to proposed changes to R-3007 near Ludowici, Georgia. AOPA supports the U.S. Air Force's proposed realignment of R-3007.

With the realignment of this airspace, the current area encompassed by R-3007A and B will revert to the current military operations area already surrounding R-3007. Although the ceiling of R-3007 will increase, we do not expect major impact issues for our membership.

AOPA appreciates the opportunity to comment on this proposal, and we support the mission of our armed forces.

Sincerely,
