AOPA facility tour 6/25/10

So during the day, the crew wanted to take a tour of AOPA. They have a beautiful building off the field at Frederick. AOPA had a couple of racers on Team 29 in the race. All the local staff signed a picture of their team. Also the position of their team was being tracked using the SPOT GPS navigation system. Teresa wanted to check-out the President's office along with his view of the field. Fortunately he was away at the time of the tour. More pixtures later this evening.
