At 10:40pm PDT we brought down the server that has run COPA’s website for the last 7 years. This is our new software platform. If you are not a COPA member, please look around the public areas of our website, which we have greatly enhanced. The improvement insider are even more significant; if you are involved with Cirrus aircraft or are just looking for one of the most vibrant groups of pilots around, please consider joining. You get 6 issues a year of a great magazine, too! ---

[;)] For those new to COPA, a personal testamonial. It was the COPA forum activity 7 years ago that convinced me that I was in a great community, passionate about flying safely, and so I bought an SR22 without ever having flown one. I learned a lot from Steve Lin’s work on the original wwwthreads forum, so much so that I created two more communities elsewhere. And now I have a huge amount of respect for the talented team of COPA members who volunteered to bring COPA 2.0 to life! Thanks. [\<:o)] Cheers Rick ---

Truley one of the most important tools in aviation. I pay my COPA subscription before anything else. It just makes us all better pilots. SR/20 774PT.
