AvBrief has what looks like the real scoop on the AOPA board firing Darren Pleasance. By all accounts, he was actually effective as a CEO, turning the organization around significantly during his short tenure. Maybe some board members were threatened by having someone more competent than themselves, or maybe just more honest, in the CEO seat.

Hybrid engine could reduce aviation emissions by up to 30%
In the future, regional flights such as Trondheim-Oslo could become much more environmentally friendly with the help of a hybrid aircraft engine. This type of engine combines an electric motor and a combustion engine to drive a propeller. The innovation should be able to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 30%.

Went for another training flight today, ran into an examiner by pure chance after landing, he had time, I had time, we could shuffle things around to free up a plane. An hour later, my single engine piston (land) class rating is restored. Yay!
