Author’s Note: The Weekly Post is a new feature to Battle of the Bilge that will list many stories of interest that have been popular in the previous week. These are not items that we have investigated, but most of the stories listed have set off our Bilge meters. Although I have a strict policy to remain as impartial as possible in all regular Bilge articles, I may be a little less strict in The Weekly Post. Please understand that the commentary next to the link do not necessarily represent MOAA policies (especially since few if any of them would be considered in our ‘scope’).
Above all else, this feature will be an effort to spark discussion among MOAA members and guests. Please feel comfortable posting comments!
