From business flying to
visiting grandchildren
Retired retail exec turns to AOPA for coverage
ALLEN YARBOROUGH LEARNED TO FLY

in 1968; he trained in Tomahawks and
expected that his flying would simply be a
hobby. But soon he moved up, to a Bonanza
and a twin. "I purchased a Navajo in 1988,
and for a number of years I used my twin
for business flying to my multiple stores in
two states," Yarborough says.
He sold his businesses in 2008 and
says, "I tried to retire, but I couldn't get
used to being in retirement." He bought a
Turbo Arrow IV so he and his wife could
visit their grandchildren in another state.
"I chose the Arrow because of its speed and
altitude capabilities, as I was used to the
twin, but I wouldn't need the extra seating
and the operating cost were dramatically
lower per hour," he says.
When he was shopping for insurance,
he called AOPA because he had been a
member since the late 1990s. "They were
extremely helpful and were able to get

me multiple price quotes," he says. "I was
pleasantly surprised at how inexpensive
full coverage was." Would he recommend
AOPA Insurance Services to other pilots?
Of course. "I highly recommend that any
pilot or aircraft owner who needs insurance give AOPA a call."
Whether you fly a single or a twin, AOPA
Insurance Services has the right policy
for you. For more information or a quick
quote on aircraft insurance, talk to AOPA
Insurance Services. Don't forget: You may
qualify for a 5-percent discount just for being
an AOPA member.
