AERO-SPACE REPORTS SIGNS ON AS AOPA’S THIRD STRATEGIC PARTNER
AOPA HAS SIGNED a new Strategic Partner agreement with Aero-Space Reports, Inc., one of the leading aircraft title and escrow services providers in the nation. The Oklahoma City-based company becomes AOPA’s third Strategic Partner, joining Enterprise (Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental, Alamo Rent A Car) and Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co. “The outstanding customer service that Aero-Space Reports delivers throughout an aircraft purchase process is exactly the type of experience we want to make more affordable for our members,” said Ed Thompson, AOPA vice president of corporate partnerships. Aero-Space Reports is a family-owned business with deep roots in aviation. The company was founded in 1969 and taken over by Neal Snowden Sr. and his wife, Polly, a few years later. For the past 20 years, Neal Snowden Jr. and his wife, Vicki, have led Aero-Space Reports to become one of the industry’s most respected aircraft title and escrow services businesses. “Aero-Space Reports could not be more excited about partnering with AOPA, an organization that clearly shares the same core values we strive to practice,” said Neal Snowden. “We understand aircraft purchases can be stressful, and AOPA members need and deserve a company they can trust. With a title search turnaround time of four hours, and never a charge for rush service, we feel confident Aero-Space Reports is the right company for the job.”

ANSWERS FOR PILOTS

AGING EYES
WE TAKE OUR VISION for granted until something affects it. Your eyes, unfortunately, are not immune to the effects of aging. Cataracts and the ensuing surgery, and lens implants, are often a part of life. Even something as simple as getting new contact lenses could have an impact on your airman medical certification if the lenses are tinted, bifocal, or multifocal. Read about how changes in vision may affect your medical certificate, and what the FAA allows or disallows, in January’s Answers for Pilots (www.aopa.org/members/answers0113).
